Development of fast field diagnostics procedures to identify EHD and BT
Develops quick field tests to detect EHD and bluetongue, viral diseases of deer, on site rather than waiting for lab results.
Development of a methodology that incorporates host, vector, geographic and environmental data to develop predictive maps to…
Combines host, vector, geographic and environmental data to build predictive maps showing where outbreaks of EHD and bluetongue in deer are likely.
