What is chronic wasting disease (CWD)?

  1. A nutritional deficiency in deer

  2. A contagious disease affecting the brain of deer, elk, and moose

  3. A type of injury common in big game hunting

  4. A myth propagated to discourage hunting

The correct answer is: A contagious disease affecting the brain of deer, elk, and moose

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose. It is caused by abnormal proteins called prions and is similar to other diseases like mad cow disease. CWD is a serious concern for wildlife management because it is always fatal and can spread rapidly through infected deer populations. It is important for hunters to be aware of CWD and take precautions to prevent its spread, such as avoiding contact with infected animals and properly handling and disposing of carcasses.
