| dc.description.abstract | The Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Optimization Software (n x 2) computes sampling recommendations for state, tribal, or provincial wildlife management agencies when the goal of the disease surveillance program is to detect chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Driven by a combinatorial optimization algorithm, the Software pinpoints the number of surveillance points that should be evaluated in each county (or administrative area) to maximize the return-on-investment of sampling to the agency, while staying within the predetermined annual CWD surveillance budget. Agency representatives parameterize their Software with their total annual budget, weightings for specific management objectives, a summary of the historical sampling data, per-deer sampling costs, benefits of first and early detections, risk of spread, and benefits of an ad hoc sampling strategy. Outputs include the set of counties that should be sampled in the upcoming surveillance season. We designed the Software for use in Tennessee, US, but included directions for other states or provinces. | |
