Abstract: Objectives 1. To test hpyotheses concerning effects of exposure to brucellosis and other biological factors on reproduction 2. To evaluate the incidence of prematurely terminated pregnancies in brucellosis-infected and non-infected bison 3. To assess the potential risk of disease transmission by examining spatial areas of overlap between bison and cattle, especially during high risk periods 4. To determine effects of disease exposure and maternal traits on calf growth rates and age at puberty 5. To determine effects of female age on pregnancy, birth, and calf survival. Findings and Status Project is currently on-going.
