North American Wildlife Agency CWD Testing and Ancillary Data (2000 – 2022) Scripts

Other Titles

Abstract

These scripts have been used to generate the North American Wildlife Agency CWD Testing and Ancillary Data (2000 – 2022) (Version 2) (“Dataset”), representing epidemiological, population, ecological, and anthropogenic data related to chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in 16 US states (“Administrative Areas”) in North America. The data are summarized by “Management Areas,” the geographic unit within the administrative area of a wildlife agency used for wildlife management, typically aligning with county or county-equivalent boundaries. The resulting dataset is intended for use in regional models to determine risk factors that can be used to predict locations of CWD incidence in white-tailed deer at the sub-administrative unit level. Version 2 of the dataset corrects errors present in Version 1 (https://doi.org/10.7298/7txw-2681). For Version 2, the original data sources were re-examined and re-processed to ensure the highest level of fidelity and accuracy possible. All data and scripts were assessed for accuracy and consistency by internal and external collaborators.
