Inside the Penn Vet Study on Deer Mortality and CWD With Dr. Erick Gagne and Dr. Jennifer Hoy-Petersen
Episode Description
Through the Wildlife Futures Program, the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) is conducting a study to explore leading causes of mortality in deer with and without CWD within a CWD-endemic area. The study team outfitted deer with GPS-collars programmed to emit a mortality signal to promptly retrieve carcasses for a complete necropsy with associated ancillary tests to determine the cause of death. Early results are in, and we are joined by Dr. Erick Gagne and Dr. Jennifer Hoy-Petersen of Penn Vet to discuss what the team has found so far.
