Figure 10. SARS-CoV-2 infection of tracheal explant in study of SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity in urban population of wild fallow deer, Dublin, Ireland, 2020–2022. Tracheal explants from 2 SARS-CoV-2–seronegative deer were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 Italy-INMI1 and stained by using immunohistochemistry. Control sections were stained with IgG only or mock infected. A) Arrows indicate SARS-CoV-2 Italy-INMI1 antigen immunoreactivity in tracheal epithelium; B) no immunoreactivity was observed after staining with the IgG control. Scale bars indicate 60 μm.
