The study’s authors examined CWD trends in 10 different mule deer herds across central and eastern Wyoming, which varied in ...

A deer may not show any signs of CWD until 18 to 24 months after becoming infected, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Arguably the most obvious sign is drastic weight loss, or “wasting.” ...

CWD is the cause. We have solid evidence to back it up. This is what’s going on, and so let’s proceed with what to do about ...

A new study authored by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department finds hunting greater numbers of male deer can slow the spread of chronic wasting disease. The U.S ...

The paper, published Tuesday by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, concluded that deer herds with consistently high harvest pressure across 20 years had significantly ...

CWD project leader for the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. “Is the infectivity still there, and is the concentration enough to transmit disease?” ...

And because CWD prions can remain for long periods in the soil, the elk that return to the same feedgrounds year after year are more likely to be exposed. USGS research published in 2023 supports ...

CWD prevalence in the herd would reach 27%. Reduce feeding: This strategy would taper alfalfa rations over 5 years before halting feeding altogether. The USGS’ modeling predicted the herd ...

Certain lichens can break down the infectious proteins responsible for chronic wasting disease, according to U.S. Geological Survey research published this week in the journal PLoS ONE.

Hunting greater numbers of male deer can slow the spread of chronic wasting disease, a lethal wildlife disease, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wyoming Game and Fish ...
