Spatiotemporal Causal Inference With Mechanistic Ecological Models: Evaluating Targeted Culling on Chronic Wasting Disease Dynamics in Cervids
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Environmetrics"
DOI: 10.1002/env.2901
Abstract: Spatiotemporal causal inference methods are needed to detect the effect of interventions on indirectly measured epidemiological outcomes that go beyond studying spatiotemporal correlations. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) causes neurological degeneration and eventual death to white‐tailed… read more here.

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Wildlife Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/wlb3.01255
Abstract: 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.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.761
Abstract: 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. During 2013, we surveyed 1,524 Maryland,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c00155
Abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It spreads readily from CWD-contaminated environments and among wild cervids. As of 2022, North American CWD has been found in 29… read more here.
