Incentives and motivational crowding to address chronic wasting disease: An experiment with Alberta hunters

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Behavioral interventions, for example, through the use of incentives and information, are widely used by policymakers to induce welfare‐improving behavior. When these interventions are used in specific contexts such as environmental conservation, individual knowledge, experience, and attitudes can lead to motivational crowding and may limit ...

Mapping landowners' willingness to allow recreational deer harvest on their property for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We demonstrate an approach for mapping the probability of landowners' willingness to allow wildlife management actions on their property using chronic wasting disease as a case study. Larger property sizes were associated with higher landowner willingness. We mapped predictions across the contiguous United States at the census tract level.

Evidence for distinct chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains in experimental CWD in ferrets

, 2012
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an evolving prion disease of cervids (deer, elk and moose) that has been recognized in North America and Korea. Infection of non-cervid reservoir or transport species in nature is not reported.

Hunter perceptions toward chronic wasting disease: Implications for harvest and management

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Previous human dimension research has reported negative perceptions among hunters toward Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and disease‐related regulations that may limit hunter participation, reduce harvest, and generally complicate management.

Risk behaviors in a rural community with a known point-source exposure to chronic wasting disease

Environmental Health, 2008
Background The emergence and continuing spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids has now reached 14 U.S. states, two Canadian provinces, and South Korea, producing a potential for transmission of CWD prions to humans and other animals globally.

Modeling localized deer removal strategies for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We used an agent‐based model developed for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Midwestern white‐tailed deer to assess localized deer removal strategies and how local conditions affect management outcomes. Parcel‐based and ring culling were most effective at reducing CWD prevalence and persistence, and transmission was always greater at greater deer ...

PMCA screening of retropharyngeal lymph nodes in white-tailed deer and comparisons with ELISA and IHC

Scientific Reports, 2023
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervids. CWD diagnosis is conducted through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in retropharyngeal lymph nodes.

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

PERSONAL NORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON DEER HUNTER PARTICIPATION IN CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) PREVENTION

, 2022
109 pagesWhite-tailed deer are an important species in New York, but chronic wasting disease (CWD) threatens the many benefits derived from white-tailed deer. CWD is a fatal prion disease within the same category of diseases as mad cow disease.
