Clay content and pH: soil characteristic associations with the persistent presence of chronic wasting disease in northern Illinois

Environmental reservoirs are important to infectious disease transmission and persistence, but empirical analyses are relatively few. The natural environment is a reservoir for prions that cause chronic wasting disease (CWD) and influences the risk of transmission to susceptible cervids. Soil is one...
