Researchers at the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab are leading interagency efforts to prevent the spread of chronic wasting disease.
On Mar. 21, Dr. Mathias Martins, a researcher in the Diel Lab, which is housed in the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, discussed the effects of COVID-19 on the deer population in his copublished article “From Deer-To-Deer: Sars-Cov-2 Is Efficiently Transmitted And Presents Broad Tissue Tropism And Replication Sites In White-Tailed Deer.”
At an Ithaca Town Conservation meeting, deer management, timber permits and sustainability recommendations were discussed.
The deer succumbed to its injuries while waiting for tranquilizers to arrive, police said.
