Spatio-temporal analyses reveal infectious disease-driven selection in a free-ranging ungulate
Infectious diseases play an important role in wildlife population dynamics by altering individual fitness, but detecting disease-driven natural selection in free-ranging populations is difficult due to complex disease–host relationships. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal infectious prion dise...
