CFIA quarantines elk herd in Saskatchewan after chronic wasting disease found

THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA - A large elk farm in Saskatchewan is under quarantine and its animals are to be destroyed after a case of chronic wasting disease was discovered.

Connie Argue, a veterinarian and program manager with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, says the farm is in the Battleford-area northwest of Saskatoon.

Argue says the quarantine was declared after a dead animal tested positive in March.

She won't say how many animals are on the unidentified farm.

The source of the fatal infection, the second to be found in the province this year, is still under investigation.

Chronic wasting disease attacks the nervous system and first surfaced among elk and deer in Saskatchewan in 1996.
