Vertical transmission of chronic wasting disease in free-ranging white-tailed deer populations

Vertical transmission of chronic wasting disease in free-ranging white-tailed deer populations

Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting cervids across North America, Northern Europe, and Asia. Disease transmission among cervids has historically been attributed to direct animal-to-animal contact with ‘secreta’ (saliva, blood, urine, and feces) conta...
