Still Waters Posted January 24 #1 Share Posted January 24 A fatal neurological illness that affects deer known as chronic wasting disease has been detected in Georgia for the first time, state wildlife officials announced Thursday. The Georgia case was detected in a 2½-year-old white-tailed deer harvested on private property in Lanier County, northeast of Valdosta. The animal was tested as part of routine surveillance, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said, and the positive test was confirmed by a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab. CWD was first discovered in Colorado in the late 1960s and is known to infect deer, elk and moose. https://phys.org/news/2025-01-chronic-disease-georgia-deer.html 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
