Research project

Chronic Wasting Disease

Field research and engineering focused on oral vaccine delivery to cervids.

Overview

A field challenge, tested in context.

In collaboration with the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization, OHMT is exploring practical methods for oral vaccine delivery to cervids.

Deer feeding-preference trials
Delivery stability in field conditions
Access control for non-target species

The story

Built through real-world development.

This work brings vaccine research into the conditions where a practical oral delivery system must function. Feeding preference, weather exposure and access by non-target species all affect the engineering approach.

Field observations and iterative testing help turn those constraints into a delivery method designed for real use.
