Data from: Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white-tailed deer population
Listed in figshare
<p>We tested whether cortisol concentrations were associated with CWD status by quantifying cortisol in hair from hunter-harvested deer.
Description
We supplemented this analysis with a small sample size (n=9) of serum from captured deer where CWD status was known within 30 days of capture due to mortality. Cortisol in hair is representative of long-term cortisol concentrations.
In contrast, serum cortisol represents stress during capture and is highly variable by individual. In hair from hunter-harvested deer, cortisol concentrations were significantly higher in CWD+ animals (<em>P</em> = 0.033). Cortisol concentrations in the hair of CWD+ deer were 1.3 pg/mg hair, (SE = 0.24) and for CWD non-detect (ND) were 0.79 pg/mg, (SE = 0.09).

Despite small sample sizes, serum cortisol was still on average higher in CWD+ (mean = 5.9 mg/dl, SE = 1.6) compared to CWD ND deer (mean = 2.9 mg/dl, SE = 1.3), though this relationship was not significant (<em>P</em> = 0.183). Combining these independent tests, there was significant evidence that cortisol concentrations differed between CWD+ and CWD non-detect animals (Fisher’s exact method: <em>P</em> = 0.031).</p>
