Missouri sixth case CWD documented northwest Macon County Latest CWD testing shows one deer positive for disease Statewide Published on: Jan. 23, 2013 Posted by Joe Jerek JEFFERSON CITY Mo – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reports that one deer recently harvested by hunters in north-central Missouri has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which is fatal to deer. The adult buck was harvested in northwest Macon County, where five previous cases of CWD have been found since early 2012. This latest finding is a result of MDC collecting a total of 1,665 tissue samples for CWD testing from hunter-harvested deer in a six-county “CWD Containment Zone.” The sampling effort took place in Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties during the past fall archery and firearms deer seasons. The sampling effort was part of MDC’s targeted CWD testing and containment efforts in the area. http://mdc.mo.gov/newsroom/latest-cwd-testing-shows-one-deer-positive-disease Friday, October 21, 2011 Chronic Wasting Disease Found in Captive Deer Missouri October 20, 2011 Chronic Wasting Disease Found in Captive Deer The Missouri departments of Agriculture, Conservation and Health and Senior Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that a captive white-tailed deer in Macon County, Missouri has tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD is a neurological disease found in deer, elk and moose. snip... The animal that tested positive for CWD was a captive white-tailed deer inspected as part of the State's CWD surveillance and testing program. Preliminary tests were conducted by the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. snip... In February 2010 a case of CWD was confirmed in Linn County on a captive hunting preserve operated by the same entity, Heartland Wildlife Ranches, LLC. The Linn County facility was depopulated and no further infection was identified at that facility. The current case was identified through increased surveillance required by the management plan implemented from the previous CWD incident. snip... http://mda.mo.gov/news/2011/Chronic_Wasting_Disease_Found_in_Captive_Deer Friday, October 21, 2011 Chronic Wasting Disease Found in Captive Deer Missouri http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2011/10/chronic-wasting-disease-found-in.html Tuesday, January 24, 2012 CWD found in two free-ranging deer from Macon County Missouri http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/01/cwd-found-in-two-free-ranging-deer-from.html Friday, February 26, 2010 Chronic wasting disease found in Missouri deer http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2010/02/chronic-wasting-disease-found-in.html Sunday, March 25, 2012 Three more cases of CWD found in free-ranging deer in Macon County http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/03/three-more-cases-of-cwd-found-in-free.html From: Terry S.

Saunders1, Shannon L. Bartelt-Hunt, and Jason C. Bartz Author affiliations: University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Omaha, Nebraska, USA (S.E. Saunders, S.L. Bartelt-Hunt); Creighton University, Omaha (J.C. Bartz) Synopsis Occurrence, Transmission, and Zoonotic Potential of Chronic Wasting Disease snip... CWD has been identified in free-ranging cervids in 15 US states and 2 Canadian provinces and in ≈100 captive herds in 15 states and provinces and in South Korea (Figure 1, panel B). snip... Most epidemiologic studies and experimental work have suggested that the potential for CWD transmission to humans is low, and such transmission has not been documented through ongoing surveillance (2,3). In vitro prion replication assays report a relatively low efficiency of CWD PrPSc-directed conversion of human PrPc to PrPSc (30), and transgenic mice overexpressing human PrPc are resistant to CWD infection (31); these findings indicate low zoonotic potential. However, squirrel monkeys are susceptible to CWD by intracerebral and oral inoculation (32). Cynomolgus macaques, which are evolutionarily closer to humans than squirrel monkeys, are resistant to CWD infection (32). Regardless, the finding that a primate is orally susceptible to CWD is of concern... snip... http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/18/3/11-0685_article.htm Thursday, October 11, 2012 Pennsylvania Confirms First Case CWD Adams County Captive Deer Tests Positive http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/10/pennsylvania-confirms-first-case-cwd.html Tuesday, November 13, 2012 PENNSYLVANIA 2012 THE GREAT ESCAPE OF CWD http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/11/pennsylvania-2012-great-escape-of-cwd.html Wednesday, November 14, 2012 PENNSYLVANIA 2012 THE GREAT ESCAPE OF CWD INVESTIGATION MOVES INTO LOUISIANA and INDIANA http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/11/pennsylvania-2012-great-escape-of-cwd_14.html Pennsylvania CWD number of deer exposed and farms there from much greater than first thought Published: Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 10:44 PM Updated: Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 11:33 PM http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/10/pennsylvania-cwd-number-of-deer-exposed.html Tuesday, October 23, 2012 PA Captive deer from CWD-positive farm roaming free http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/10/pa-captive-deer-from-cwd-positive-farm.html Friday, August 31, 2012 COMMITTEE ON CAPTIVE WILDLIFE AND ALTERNATIVE LIVESTOCK and CWD 2009-2012 a review http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/08/committee-on-captive-wildlife-and.html Tuesday, June 05, 2012 Captive Deer Breeding Legislation Overwhelmingly Defeated During 2012 Legislative Session http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/06/captive-deer-breeding-legislation.html Sunday, January 06, 2013 USDA TO PGC ONCE CAPTIVES ESCAPE "it‘s no longer its business.” http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2013/01/usda-to-pgc-once-captives-escape-its-no.html Friday, December 14, 2012 Susceptibility of domestic cats to chronic wasting disease http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/12/susceptibility-of-domestic-cats-to.html Friday, December 14, 2012 Susceptibility Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in wild cervids to Humans 2005 - December 14, 2012 http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2012/12/susceptibility-chronic-wasting-disease.html http://felinespongiformencephalopathyfse.blogspot.com/2011/08/susceptibility-of-domestic-cats-to-cwd.html http://felinespongiformencephalopathyfse.blogspot.com/ Friday, December 14, 2012 DEFRA U.K. What is the risk of Chronic Wasting Disease CWD being introduced into Great Britain?

Thanks to the Honorable Phyllis Fong of the OIG, that cow was finally confirmed as mad cow disease, 7+ months later, on USDA BSE confirmation protocols that was supposed to be 48 hours. The fact of the matter is, CWD has been waltzing across Texas for over a decade from the WSMR at New Mexico border, and the state of Texas, in my opinion, knew this. in my opinion, the state of Texas purposely tested the least amount of cervids in that area for years, why, they knew it was there, and I warned you of this in 2001, 2005, and year after year after year. now, it’s too late. Game farms and ranchers i.e. high fence operations here in Texas are out of control in my opinion, with the TAHC not having a clue as to the infection rate of CWD (if any) at these high fence operations. it has been proven in the past, they are nothing but a petri dish for CWD infection rates, with the highest infection rate in Wisconsin at the Buckhorn Flats Game farm toping out at 80%. TAHC actions now on CWD, as I finally applaud them, may well be much too late, and not near enough. I pray that I am wrong. However, because of this, I think the movement restrictions on cervids in Texas should include every region in the state of Texas, until a very large cwd sampling over a period of 7 to 10 years. ...
