Biodetection of an odor signature in white-tailed deer associated with infection by chronic wasting disease prions

Caption

Glen J. Golden, Study Director, is running Moose during a single trial (out of 20) of the 1-in-5 scratch box assay used to monitor operantly conditioned responses of trained dogs to odors emitted from fecal samples derived from avian influenza virus-positive and avian influenza virus-negative donor mallards. The positive sample is in position 2 as Moose is indicating with a scratch alert.
