CWD wanted to share this

[Fritz the Cat]

I believe "suspect" are animals that outwardly exhibited clinical signs of the disease but the test results have not yet been completed.

I also believe that the person who develops a near immediate testing procedure will find him/her self nearly immediately wealthy.

After heads are collected the brain stem and a lymph node taken under the jaw are removed and sent in an alcohol formalin. They go to labs such as University of Minnesota or Michigan. If a "suspect" is found it goes to Aimes Iowa for conformation.

dean

so were gonna base this as factual from 1 case study?? as im sure you very well know case studies are one of the lowest forms of research a person can do...1 step above joe blows opinion.....

like me doing a case report on 1 persons response to knee injury and taking those results and basing it to an entire population...

screw it it didnt work on "suzie" its not gonna work on my next 756 patient.........

- - - Updated - - -

i guess until we know more about this and have definitive yes/no anwers it could all be consideres speculative and eveyrthing could be consiodered knee jerk reaction.

another big thing in regards to research is look who "paying" for the study ive review my fair share of medical journals and you would be surpised how many journals are getting paid from big pharma companies......i.e bias...

Oh it isn't just one its been tried over and over again and has yet to help. The Norwegians are the latest to give it a crack their plan is to kill every single reindeer inside the area where they found it and then they're going to keep them out of there for decades! It gets to be a bit of an issue when your solution to keep deer from dying it's the Kill Them All cuz eventually you end up fairly counterproductive to say the very least. Wisconsin tried the very same thing when they first found it including a hunting season in the middle of summer to kill all the deer including the fawns. it was found in one County now it's found across half the state it's just basically impossible to stop even more so than most ANS.

I wonder if it's happening with bears too... but they just dork out and die in their dens and not walk around looking zombified like deer do?

if it's happened in people and ungulates - why not bears? it's just mis-folded proteins after all

Are they checking bear brains?

 

[dean nelson]

Hell they can't even tell if it's in humans because of its wickedly slow progression through our system. so I'm sure they have no clue on bears and especially if it's super slow in them as well it probably wouldn't matter anyways it would have died of natural causes long before the protein could get them.

Tidbit of info here what blue plate DNR sent out on thier website.
[h=1]DNR plans public meeting to discuss CWD response efforts on Dec. 18[/h]The public can get more details about what the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is doing to respond to chronic wasting disease found in wild deer in southeastern Minnesota at a meeting scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 18, in Preston.
At the meeting in the Fillmore Central School Auditorium, 702 Chatfield St., DNR staff will explain the CWD response efforts planned for this winter, including late-season special hunts, landowner shooting permits and targeted culling.
“DNR’s actions are designed to limit disease spread and keep Minnesota’s deer populations healthy,” said Lou Cornicelli, wildlife research manager. “We’re having this meeting so people can hear face-to-face about what’s going on and ask their own questions.”
Staff also will discuss potential future actions, including a snow-dependent aerial deer survey and expansion of the disease management zone, that now encompasses a 10-mile radius around the city of Preston.
To date, sampling efforts taken by the DNR in cooperation with hunters have detected 30 cases of the neurological disease in wild deer in southeastern Minnesota. The DNR discovered 12 new cases this fall in or around the disease management zone in Fillmore County. The agency discovered one additional case that was recently confirmed for a wild deer harvested in Houston County, about 30 miles from the disease management zone.
Complete Minnesota CWD test results, including locations of positive test results and statistics, are available on the DNR website at mndnr.gov/cwdcheck.

see the "positive farm" star?

why is this stuff so prevalent in game farms? if wild deer can't "bring it in"?

Hi guy..i see the star in the upper right part of map but my eyes cant locate one around Preston...probably my blind eyes.
Here is another interesting tidbit from that site.
[h=1]Deer feeding & attractants bans[/h][FONT=&quot][h=2]What counties are affected?[/h] [h=6]Updated July 2018[/h]
Deer feeding ban only – affects the 11 north-central and central counties listed below. Deer in the north-central and central surveillances areas are not known to have CWD. Please note that attractants have not been banned in these counties and can be used.

• North-central counties: Aitkin, Crow Wing, Morrison and the portion of Cass County south of Minnesota highways 34 and 200 and the portion of Mille Lacs county north of County Road 11
• Central counties: Kandiyohi, McLeod, Meeker, Stearns, Wright and the portion of Renville County north of U.S. Highway 212.

Feeding and attractants ban – affects the six southeast counties listed below. Note that Wabasha County was added in 2018. All feed and natural or artificial attractants are prohibited. This is the only area in Minnesota where CWD is known to exist in wild deer.

• Southeastern counties: Fillmore, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona.

[h=5]Why are there bans in Minnesota?[/h]
Feeding and attractant bans are in place across the state to prevent concentrations of wild deer in areas with a higher risk for CWD. These are precautionary steps DNR took after CWD-positive deer were found both in the wild and on deer farms. Feeding bans encompass wider areas because food sources can concentrate deer and allow for close contact – one of the mechanisms for CWD spread.

Like Nanky said in the deer baiting ban thread, "

Guessing CWD has always been around and we are seeing it more because we're looking harder for it. "

There was one case in Iowa that had everyone scratching their heads. A deer farm that had not imported an animal in over ten years. Yet, a two year old deer got it. It was a bottle baby or orphan. The owners had fed it colostrum made from sheep's milk. A possible vector??

You can’t dismiss that there might be multiple avenues of spreading the disease. Nor can you dismiss that it may happen spontaneously. The Norway situation doesnt have a good explanation.

Meelosh, were you talking to me? Or were you making a generalization that people would be remiss, to dismiss?

I wonder if bottled doe pee could transmit it. Seems they collect it from a captive herd which could have a positive animal. Hunter dumps doe pee on ground, prions survive in soil forever. Maybe unlikely but it sure seems werid how it spreads. I'm sure deer do move quite some distance but still seems like it shows up really far from affected areas.

Could birds of prey be spreading it? Eating from a dead carcass that is infected and then pooping prions out miles away.

Who really knows but I'm quite sure it won't be the end of deer hunting.

 

[Fritz the Cat]

OMG!!! I couldn't get the image to load. They have 919 cases in Alberta. Check out this map.
