Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

Knowledge of animal movement patterns is invaluable to understanding the spread of diseases among wildlife populations. One example is the recent African swine fever (ASF) outbreak among wild boar Sus scrofa populations across East Asia, where there is a lack of information on movements of this species.

Mammalian dispersal is characterized by long‐distance movements, and whether dispersal is sex‐dependent and occurs at pre‐saturation densities affects colonization speed and concurrent pathogen spread. In Scandinavia, Sweden classifies wild boar Sus scrofa as a native species and retains high densities, while Norwegian authorities considers it an alien

Deep personal relationships and well‐being: A response to Hooker
