Abstract:

Multiple surveillance methods were used to determine factors influencing the spread of a low-prevalence disease, bovine tuberculosis (bTB), among white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in a bTB endemic area from 2011 to 2020. Surveillance occurred at the quarter-township (25 square kilometer) level in Alpena County, MI resulting in data for 74 different sites. This data publication includes the number of bTB tests conducted on white-tailed deer in a quarter-section (site) each year and the number of those tests that were positive for bTB. It also includes for each site and year, the estimated number of deer per square mile, proportion of site covered by crops, and the number of days below 0 degrees Celsius. A map showing the location of each site is also provided.
