This illustrated U.S. Geological Survey report sets out a research strategy for chronic wasting disease and the health of deer, elk and other cervids. It connects disease surveillance with animal movements, migration corridors and the practical decisions facing wildlife managers.
Five goals organize the work: improving detection, understanding transmission and spread, studying human and economic dimensions, developing decision tools, and assessing effects on ecosystems and society. A distribution map, references, selected research publications, congressional background and a science-team appendix make the complete report useful to readers following wildlife disease research and management. First published in December 2024, the strategy looks ahead to the 2024–2028 planning period.
