Danielle Kaeding. Wisconsin Public Radio. June 1, p. The number of wild deer testing positive for chronic wasting disease continues to rise in Wisconsin. Rich Kremer. Three more counties had wild deer test positive for chronic wasting disease during As a result, 30 counties in the state have had CWD detections in wild herds since the disease was first detected in Miranda Suarez.

For the first time, the proteins that cause chronic wasting disease have been detected in white-tailed deer semen — which is a commodity for deer farmers, who sell it for breeding purposes. There have been more than cases of chronic wasting disease at Wisconsin deer farms and hunting ranches since it was first detected in the state almost two decades ago. But more than a quarter of those were reported since November Computer simulation of CWD dynamics in western cervid populations 12 indicated that CWD could severely reduce deer numbers.

Disease transmission may occur at a greater rate and consequently have a larger impact on the population in the eastern United States, where White-tailed Deer densities are typically an order of magnitude larger than western deer and elk populations e.

Results and Discussion From March 2 to April 9, , samples were collected from deer; however, 29 deer were not included in the analysis because of sample autolysis, inappropriate tissue submission, or lack of availability of appropriate tissues e. Open in a separate window. Conclusions The state of Wisconsin is undertaking an integrated research, surveillance, and management program to determine the distribution of CWD in Wisconsin free-ranging deer population and eventually eliminating the disease from the known affected area of south-central Wisconsin 10 , References 1.

This table shows available CWD test results from all counties where deer tissue samples have been collected. It includes data released through November 11, Results are sorted alphabetically by county name. See the data for CWD Year: If a county name does not appear on the list, then zero deer have been sampled from this location to date. If you click on a county, you can see the breakdown for individual hunting periods and CWD zones. Please take note of the following when interpreting data for any county where Positive test results have been obtained.

CWD occurrence in any County is likely to be restricted to one or more local isolated areas.
