Research on Wildlife Disease
Bovine
Tuberculosis
NWRC Research Project—Fort Collins, CO

among wildlife, domestic animals, and humans, and develop methods that reduce
or eliminate such transmission
Chronic
Wasting Disease

Assessing the potential for chronic wasting disease transmission at the interface
between wild and domestic cervids, and developing methods to reduce transmission
and spread of the disease.
