Join us for a discussion about the latest research in Chronic Wasting Disease in cervids.
In this episode we talk with Dr. Catheryn Haigh with the from the Chief Prion Cell Biology Unit at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories, National Institutes of Health. We do a little looking at CWD's history, the current research and where it is going.
Questions can be sent to Dr. Haigh at cathryn.haigh@nih.gov
I said I would put a note about testing on deer farms. From what I can find as the only certified test is done during a necropsy any animal that has shown symptoms of CWD should be tested and the entire herd may be depopulated. But actual requirements vary by state.
