Summary: | We investigated Alongshan virus infection in reindeer in northeastern China. We found that 4.8% of the animals were viral RNA–positive, 33.3% tested positive for IgG, and 19.1% displayed neutralizing antibodies. These findings suggest reindeer could serve as sentinel animal species for the epidemiologic surveillance of Alongshan virus infection. |
