Grouse: These data on sharp-tailed grouse survival times are provided for individuals wanting to run an age-period survival analysis. Entry and exit times are expressed in integer days from the start of the study. Entry age and exit age expressed in integer days are also included. Data are structured to implement survival analysis. White-tailed Deer: These data on white-tailed deer survival times are provided for individuals wanting to run an age-period survival analysis. Entry and exit times are expressed in integer weeks from the start of the study. Entry age and exit age expressed in integer weeks are also included. Data are structured to implement survival analysis. Only adult female individuals that were chronic-wasting...

This dataset is from expert elicitation of a panel of 15 experts with knowledge of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) and its impacts on coral reefs. We gathered this group of 15 participants with diverse expertise who had previously studied SCTLD including at universities and various government agencies as microbiologists, pathologists, disease ecologists, population ecologists, and coral experts. Participants represented marine disease experts in Florida, Hawaii, South Carolina, and the US Virgin Islands. We then used a rapid prototyping approach (Runge and Converse, 2017) to elicit, structure, and evaluate existing knowledge regarding the etiology of SCTLD. Our approach began with eliciting hypotheses about...

The survival of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) was evaluated at temperatures outside of its thermal range of growth on three different artificial growth media; Sabouraud dextrose agar (SD), brain-heart infusion agar (BHI), and brain-heart infusion agar supplemented with 10% sheep red blood cells (BHI+B). Pd was harvested from starting cultures grown of MEA agar at 7˚C for 60 days. Harvested conidia were diluted in Phosphate Buffered Saline + Tween20 and spread onto plates of a given medium. Plate were then incubated at either 24, 30 or 37˚C. Plates were incubated for 1, 5, 9, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, or 150 days before being transferred to a 7˚C incubator for 50 days. Colony forming units (CFUs) of Pd were then enumerated,...
The rapid emergence and reemergence of zoonotic diseases requires the ability to rapidly evaluate and implement optimal management decisions. Actions to control or mitigate the effects of emerging pathogens are commonly delayed because of uncertainty in the estimates and the predicted outcomes of the control tactics. The development of models that describe the best-known information regarding the disease system at the early stages of disease emergence is an essential step for optimal decision-making. Models can predict the potential effects of the pathogen, provide guidance for assessing the likelihood of success of different proposed management actions, quantify the uncertainty surrounding the choice of the optimal...

This data represents the number of positive and negative Pd (Pseudogymnoascus destructans) detections by county over the sampling period 2008-2012. Pd is the fungus that is the causative agent of white-nose syndrome.

This data set contains individual adult bighorn sheep entry and exit/censor times for 3 disease states and 2 mortality states: susceptible, infected and recovered and disease-caused death and non-disease related death. These times are used in a time-to-event analysis that employs a mixture model approach to characterize transition rates between states.
