CWD Roundup





The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced that it has received confirmation that a road-killed deer in Hampshire County tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). “This is the first known occurrence of CWD in West Virginia,” said director Frank Jezioro. “Upon receiving this confirmation, we initiated our CWD Response Plan.” Alberta’s ongoing CWD surveillance effort has identified the disease in a wild mule deer about 30 kilometers southeast of Oyen, Alberta. Efforts to learn more about CWD have resulted in several studies, including, according to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, a recent one published in the “Journal of Wildlife Diseases” that indicates that CWD seems to be affecting male deer twice as much as females in northern Colorado. The study pulls together nearly a decade of research and surveillance.
