Abstract
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a member of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), is only known to naturally affect mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), white-tailed deer (O. uirginianus), and Rocky Mountain elk (Ceruus elaphus nelsoni). It has been recognized in an endemic focus along the front range of the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado and in the hills of southeastern Wyoming for more than 30 years. Since 1996, CWD has been identified in free-ranging and farmed cervids in 15 western and midwestern states and Canadian provinces and elk imported to Korea from Canada. Surveillance for a TSE in cattle sympatric with deer and elk with CWD began in the early 1990s and has been ongoing since then. Experiments to determine host range of CWD in livestock began in the 1980s. Since that time cattle, domestic sheep and domestic goats have been exposed to the CWD agent by various means. All of these species are susceptible to CWD by intracerebral inoculation but, to date, CWD has not been found to affect traditional domestic livestock species when exposed by natural routes. Chronic wasting disease is of concern in farmed elk and white-tailed deer. Control of this disease in the cervid industries is based in state, provincial, and federal regulations. Surveillance of domestic livestock for TSEs in parallel with surveillance for CWD in farmed and free-ranging cervids will need to be continued into the foreseeable future.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
