Chronic Wasting Disease Found In Wyoming’s Area 35
11/23/2009
Chronic Wasting Disease has been found in a harvested bull elk from Hunt Area 35, southwest of Buffalo, Wyo. according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department Laboratory.
“This is the first time we have found elk with CWD in elk hunt area 35,” Warren Mischke, Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Sheridan Region information specialist, said. “This area overlays deer hunt areas 27 and 28. A whitetail deer tested positive for CWD in deer area 27 in 2008.”
The laboratory collected tissue samples from the elk on Oct. 21, and verified the results on Nov. 9.
While there is no evidence that suggests chronic wasting disease could be a threat to humans, the World Health Organization advises not using or taking any parts or meat from elk, deer or moose that appear sick or unhealthy.
