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.

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.

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...

Rapid Transepithelial Transport of Prions following Inhalation
while dr. deer, the game farmer/rancher from Texas was telling Wisconsin to
take a passive approach to CWD, Texas fell to CWD.
if it had not been for the state of New Mexico, and their insistence that
CWD is and has been waltzing across Texas for a decade or more, Texas still
would have never _documented_ CWD. just like they did with mad cow disease. they
did successfully cover up one mad cow, and the second mad cow sat up on a shelf,
as a negative mad cow, even though a secret test showed it to be positive, sat
up on a shelf for 7+ months, before international scientists were demanding that
cow be retested. 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. ...
