Risk-Weighted Surveillance Quotas Model

The Risk-Weighted Surveillance Quotas Model incorporates risk factors for CWD, including anthropogenic (human-related) and demographic (deer population) forces, to calculate surveillance point quotas per sub-administrative area that can be used by agencies in their surveillance plans.
