287: CWD is Popping Up All Over the West
Update: 2024-02-08
Description
In this episode, host Nick Madsen discusses the challenges posed by chronic wasting disease (CWD) in wildlife populations. CWD is a fatal infectious neurological disease detected in multiple states and provinces. The spread of CWD is difficult to contain, as it can be transmitted through infected animals and remains viable in the environment for a long time. Biologists are implementing strategies to reduce populations and buck to doe ratios in infected areas. However, the persistence of CWD and its impact on various wildlife species is a growing concern.
Takeaways
- Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal infectious neurological disease that affects wildlife populations.
- CWD has been detected in multiple states and provinces, making it a widespread concern.
- Efforts to reduce populations and buck-to-doe ratios are being implemented to contain the spread of CWD.
- CWD remains viable in the environment for a long time, posing challenges for control and eradication.
