Wildlife experts from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) have helped develop a regional computer model – and user-friendly app – that predicts counties in 16 states where wildlife managers should target their surveillance of chronic wasting disease in deer, helping them conserve scarce money and labor resources. The model – described in a paper published June 22 in Scientific Reports – highlights areas with similar conditions to counties known to harbor chronic wasting disease, so agencies can then focus their efforts.
