That makes a lot of sense, except for the possibility of infecting the predators. What if they end up as a stepping stone to infect humans as well?

If deer to human transmission is truly possible, then I would be worried about the possibilities here.

How would the wolves infect the humans though?

Testing is hard because it only becomes evident once a month.

Canis lupus to Canis lupus familiaris transmission is pretty much guaranteed to be easy.
