CWD- again and forever.
Profit motives and business interests had very little to do with the success of scrapie breeding programs that significantly reduced scrapie. That program was so successful because they were able to find a genotype that was completely resistant to scrapie. They have not found that with any of... -

CWD- again and forever.
Honestly, I’m not sure. Im inclined to say yes, but the one I’m referring to is still going and that article said it spans from 2016-2021. The one I’m referring to collared over 700 animals. But perhaps they got more funding and decided to continue or extend that one? I’m sorry I don’t have... -

I mean I hear you, and for sure some of that blame falls on wildlife agencies, but not all of it. Some of it falls on you, me, hunters. Put yourself in their shoes. They are legally and often times constitutionally mandated to manage a public trust resource, not just for you, but for all... -

I’m not sure it’s that straight forward and “nuking” is an inflammatory take in my opinion. There is a lot of nuance that is specific to each population, ecoregion, etc. and population dynamics is a complicated topic to begin with, much less when you’re trying to apply CWD management amongst all... -

…and I swear on everything holy that I hope they find a therapeutic/vaccine that can be used in bait piles so these overgrown children in ND will quit their damn sniveling… -

My “knowledge” is essentially socially acceptable plagiarism and it is dwarfed by the actual wildlife health professionals that are out there working on this stuff. For all intents and purposes, I am just regurgitating information I learn from them. Though something tells me I have to work way... -

This is about as close you’re gonna get. There is no “provable” information beyond what’s stated below. https://cwd-info.org/timeline/ https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2018/08/23/cdc-tse-mad-cow-chronic-wasting-disease-linked-fort-collins/878097002/ -

It is hard not to get fatalistic in your view point isnt it? I have grave concerns for Mule deer specifically. Between CWD, worsening habitat and forage conditions, weather events, it’s an uphill battle. It makes me appreciate every mule deer hunt that much more. But I don’t have the answers... -

One or a relatively few bait sites used as culling locations by the department is certainly less impactful to disease spread than hunters doing it by the thousands statewide. But you’ll get no disagreement from me that they shouldn’t be doing that, they should lead by example. I’d be pissed if... -

I guess to put it simply, lots of the original culling efforts were just going into an area and using a spray and pray method, so to speak. High volume with no real idea what the chances were of taking positive deer. These days most of the culling I’m aware of happening is very focused, small... -

If your expectation was that culling or increasing pressure on the populations through harvest, was going to eradicate the disease from the landscape, then it would make sense that you feel it is ineffective and “not working”. This has been hammered out ad nauseam. But it’s worth repeating... -

The spontaneous conversation is insanely complex. It’s almost more prion biology than it is CWD pathology, involving strain variation and strain emergence, host susceptibility and genetics. But as far as I’m aware of, in ALL instances of spontaneous cases of prion diseases, in any species... -

CWD- again and forever.
I do think it would be interesting to know how biologically relevant spontaneous cases are if they exist. I mean, confirmation of them existing in deer would certainly lend to the idea that some form of this disease has been on the landscape longer than we thought. But it wouldn’t prove it and... -

As indicated earlier in the thread, this research project is not yet complete and therefore not published yet. That table is a showing preliminary results from earlier in the study. I believe after completion of year 2 of 5. It is certainly not consistent with some of the similar work that has... -

The Arkansas research project has shown that 34% of positive, GPS collared deer, reach clinical end-stage disease. That 34% represents only end stage CWD. If it was CWD positive but died from a predator, it didn’t go into the CWD column but into the predator column. -

I’d be curious who that was. I would agree that no one can prove the “lab leak”, but when the first positive case in the wild happens not far from the first case observed in a captive facility, the statistical odds of that being purely coincidental seems unlikely. But again, can’t prove it, and... -

To add on to this, or perhaps provide some context to my earlier statements. Testing fawns is not typically done. In fact, many states won’t even take fawns for testing. In regards to testing fetuses, this was done as a research effort, specific to exploring vertical transmission. Of the...
