The other deer raced away, but the young cervid with the cat on his back ran in a large arc and circled around.

The majority of the bone points are made from cervids and bovines.

These results are pertinent to horizontal CWD transmission in wild cervids.

However, we currently have a limited understanding of the impacts of these health challenges in Ontario cervids.

Free-ranging cervids in Canada face diverse threats such as climate change, human population expansion, and the northward spread of vector-borne pathogens.

Chronic wasting disease was not diagnosed among cervids tested during the study period, consistent with the previous lack of detection of the disease in Ontario.
