DNR warns against loosening elk import ban over chronic wasting disease risk At a hearing on HF4508, elk breeders urged restoring import options; the Minnesota DNR warned that current science lacks a validated live test for chronic wasting disease and said importation risks could trigger costly surveillance and response.

As Minnesota's elk breeders plead for relief from a stringent import ban, the DNR warns that loosening restrictions could unleash a costly crisis linked to chronic wasting disease.

State wildlife veterinarian outlines pilot mandatory testing for chronic wasting disease At a Southeastern RAC meeting in Green River, state wildlife veterinarian Virginia Stout presented a pilot mandatory-testing program for chronic wasting disease in the Ogden mule deer unit, saying validated tests are from dead animals only and expansion depends on funding and public cooperation.

Utah's wildlife is facing a critical challenge as pilot mandatory testing for chronic wasting disease in mule deer begins—will this initiative pave the way for more expansive measures?

State wildlife vet outlines small pilot for mandatory CWD testing in targeted unit Utah Division of Wildlife Resources staff described a pilot program for mandatory chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing in a targeted unit (Ogden unit), saying the goal is to "start small" and expand if successful; validated tests require samples from dead animals and expansion depends on future funding, largely from USDA grants.

Utah is launching a pilot program for mandatory chronic wasting disease testing aimed at safeguarding wildlife, but its success hinges on funding and results from the initial phase.

Southern Region RAC briefed on CWD pilot: mandatory testing proposed for Ogden unit Division staff outlined a proposal to pilot mandatory chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing in the Ogden deer unit to reach a weighted target for prevalence estimation, explained sampling logistics and costs ($35/sample), and emphasized education and voluntary sampling elsewhere while the program ramps up.

Utah is taking a bold step in wildlife management with a pilot program for mandatory chronic wasting disease testing during the Ogden deer hunt—could this be the key to safeguarding our deer population?

#Floridawildlife has contracted #highlycontagiousneurodegenerativedisease 2nd case of #chronicwastingdisease confirmed. There is no vaccine/cure; it spreads easily via animal contact/environmental contamination/ticks. CWF threatens deer/deer hunting. Eradication has proved unsuccessful.

Washington County hears detailed briefing after CWD found in captive deer herd; 31% positive in sampled adults Texas Parks and Wildlife briefed the commissioners on a chronic wasting disease (CWD) event at a Washington County captive deer facility. Officials said the herd was depopulated under USDA indemnity, 158 adult deer were sampled and 50 returned positive (31%). County testing of roadkill and hunter‑harvested deer has found no positives outside the施設.

A shocking 31% of adult deer tested positive for chronic wasting disease at a Washington County facility, prompting urgent calls for surveillance and action!
