Article Synopsis
- Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is spreading in wild cervids, harming wildlife conservation, draining resources, and complicating management strategies.
- Researchers developed a regional model to predict CWD incidence using surveillance data from 16 states and found that the Light Boosting Gradient model was the most accurate.
- The new predictive model can help improve surveillance efforts by identifying areas for targeted monitoring, but discrepancies with actual surveillance data highlight the need for a multi-faceted approach by wildlife professionals.
