Predicting disease spread from host movement data: Chronic wasting disease in North America as a case study. [PDF]
This paper estimates the rate of chronic wasting disease spread in multiple regions and compares these rates with model predictions based on deer movement data. Abstract Rare long‐distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter

Infectious Disease and Grouping Patterns in Mule Deer. [PDF]
Infectious disease dynamics are determined, to a great extent, by the social structure of the host. We evaluated sociality, or the tendency to form groups, in Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) from a chronic wasting disease (CWD ...

The taxonomy of American deer has been established almost entirely on the basis of morphological data and without the use of explicit phylogenetic methods; hence, phylogenetic analyses including data for all of the currently recognized species, even if ...

Canine detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in laboratory and field settings
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects both free-ranging and farmed cervid species, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk (Odocoileus hemionus, Odocoileus virginianus, and Cervus canadensis)

Association mapping of genetic risk factors for chronic wasting disease in wild deer
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting North American cervids. We assessed the feasibility of association mapping CWD genetic risk factors in wild white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule ...

Environmental Sources of Prion Transmission in Mule Deer
Whether transmission of the chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion among cervids requires direct interaction with infected animals has been unclear. We report that CWD can be transmitted to susceptible animals indirectly, from environments contaminated by ...

To jump or not to jump: Mule deer and white‐tailed deer fence crossing decisions
Modified fencing structures have been recommended with the intention of enhancing ungulate movement. Ungulates such as mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white‐tailed deer (O. virginianus) typically negotiate fences by jumping over them.
