Hunter perceptions toward chronic wasting disease: Implications for harvest and management
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Wildlife Society Bulletin"
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: 10.1007/s10344-019-1260-z
Abstract: Cervids are keystone species in ecosystems and are associated with enormous cultural and economic value. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease spreading in North American cervid populations. The 2016 emergence of CWD… 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.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-11235-8
Abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is the most contagious prion disease. It is expanding rapidly in North America, was found recently in Europe, and the potential for transmission to humans cannot be excluded yet. We hypothesized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acceb8
Abstract: Increasing climate aridity and drought, exacerbated by global warming, are increasing risks for western United States of America (U.S.A.) rainfed farming, and challenging producers’ capacity to maintain production and profitability. With agricultural water demand in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forsci/fxab023
Abstract: Coarse woody debris (CWD) is a meaningful contributor to forest carbon cycles, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity and can influence wildfire behavior. Using airborne laser scanning (ALS), we map CWD across a range of natural forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/10406387211017615
Abstract: The origin of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is unclear. One hypothesis suggests that CWD originated from scrapie in sheep. We compared the disease phenotype of sheep-adapted CWD to classical scrapie in sheep. We… read more here.
