A short video.
These slip on's fit over your favorite running shoes. The Europeans like them. The velcro design is for the jogger to run through the forest and transport seeds flora and fauna to other areas.
What if she steps in some poo?
BSE came to a screeching halt once they quit feeding cattle with bits/pieces of BSE infected cattle.Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anywhere in the article that they called it a white-tailed deer? Are Fallow deer not subject to CWD?
FWIW, the article does nothing but state what is already known. CWD is a death sentence to the deer, and there is not yet any evidence it has crossed over to humans. But give that last possibility just a wee bit of thought, there is at least one other prion based disease (BSE) that has crossed over to humans. In the first outbreak of BSE in England, less than 200 people died from it and look at the scorched Earth policy that was used to bring it under control.
Now imagine what will happen to our deer population if CWD crosses over to people.

We monitored a herd of fallow deer (Dama dama) for evidence of prion infection for 7 yr by periodic postmortem examination of animals from the herd. The fallow deer were exposed to the chronic wasting disease (CWD) agent from mule deer by living in a paddock considered contaminated with infectivity from its history of housing CWD infected deer and, after the first year of the study, by comingling with infected mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). At least 8 of 12 mule deer serving as sentinels for prion transmission and 25 additional mule deer serving as sources of infectivity developed clinical CWD or were otherwise confirmed to be infected with CWD via lymphoid tissue immunohistochemistry (IHC). In contrast, none of the 41 exposed fallow deer showed clinical signs suggestive of CWD, IHC staining of disease-associated prion in lymphoid or brain tissues, or evidence of spongiform degeneration in sections of brain stem at the level of the obex when sampled 18 mo to 7 yr after entering the mule deer paddock. The absence of clinical disease and negative IHC results in fallow deer housed in the same contaminated paddock for up to 7 yr and almost continuously exposed to CWD-infected mule deer for up to 6 yr suggests a species barrier or other form of resistance preventing fallow deer infection by the CWD agent or delaying progression of the disease in this species.Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anywhere in the article that they called it a white-tailed deer?

Allen, why do you always have to be, that guy.
The picture is of a fallow deer. If they got that wrong, then why is what they print right?
This whole prion theory needs taxpayer money. Fear and crisis's is the best way to stampede the populace.Because you could have just noted that Fallow deer are not a good representative photo of cervids known to be affected by CWD since there at least some evidence to suggest they have at least some resistance to the disease. Instead, you used it to try and knock the actual content and principal investigator, rather than the MSN reporter who wrote the news article (not those who wrote whatever scholarly paper this was derived from).
I don't know how more straight forward I need to be. All money to research zero money to monitoring. For the umpteenth time.As others have noted, you are rarely straight-forward with your agenda, and that often leaves those of us who read your posts with questions.
Shouldn't you be on nodakouthouse moderating that site into the ground?You wouldn't try insinuate something that isn't real would you? Naaw you wouldn't do that. Never done it before.![]()
That is a fair article. Researchers are following the template of the scrapie program. They cut a snip out of the animals rectum testing for scrapie. A live test. DNA is taken and a sheep receives a score. Above condon 171 means the sheep is good to go and allowed to reproduce. Below condon 171 it goes to slaughter. At slaughter they do some random sampling and find about two per year.Edit: Fair read on efforts to breed in some resistance to CWD on a WT ranch.

That is what PrairieGhost did at Northern Prairie Wildlife Center USGS when he wasn't trapping salamanders.FWIW, monitoring = data collection.
