HOW MANY DEER DIE FROM CWD TSE PRION?
HOW MANY DEER DIE FROM CWD TSE PRION?
Terry Singeltary you seem to have lots of information on this subject so I will ask the question I have not been able to get an answer to. How many deer have died from CWD? Documented deaths other than depopulation or for testing reasons?
All of them eventually, this is not a trick question as some think, if it's a gotcha question, it did not get anyone, except the fake news crowd. all science to date says that if a Cervid gets cwd, a cervid will die from cwd, if something else does not kill them first. it's like saying someone that had cjd, a tse in humans, 100% fatal, was on there way to the Doctor, and got killed in a car wreck, the car wreck would be as cause of death, but if that car wreck did not happen first, that person would have died from cjd. another example, death by asbestos, but the cause of death was asbestos related pneumonia, but asbestos was the underlying cause, and you do at time have to fight for these changes on autopsy for insurance reasons. Think of it like Alzheimer’s on steroids, but that's another nightmare for another days debate
How many deer die from cwd?
that dog don't hunt no more...
15 minute mark video shows sick deer with cwd, and this deer DIED FROM CWD, IT'S DOCUMENTED, commentator says ''so if anyone every tells you, that a deer has never died from CWD, think of this picture, because the Wisconsin Veterinary Lab told us, what when they looked at her sample under a microscope, she was the hottest animal they had ever seen, and that's in terms of the fluorescents that comes off the slide when the look at it, so, a lot of Prion in her system.''

If CWD is always fatal, where are all of the dead cervids?
Infected cervids appear healthy for a vast majority of their infection, only showing clinical symptoms for a brief period of time before death occurs. Cervids with clinically evident CWD eventually become emaciated and can die from starvation if they avoid other causes of death. Ongoing studies have found that CWD infected cervids have died from starvation despite an abundance of available row crops available for consumption (WI DNR, 2019). Additionally, some infected cervids that die directly from CWD show evidence of aspiration pneumonia, which may be caused by preceding symptoms like difficulty swallowing and excessive salivation (CWD Alliance).

Additionally, some infected cervids that die directly from CWD show evidence of aspiration pneumonia, which may be caused by preceding symptoms like difficulty swallowing and excessive salivation (CWD Alliance).
However, CWD is a neurodegenerative disease and infected cervids seem to be more prone to other causes of mortality, including vehicular collisions and predation, compared to healthy cervids (Haley & Hoover, 2015). Additionally, cervids infected with CWD appear to be more susceptible to hunter harvest due to potential behavioral changes (Edmunds et al., 2016). The role of predators, scavengers, and natural decomposition make observations of intact dead cervids a relatively rare occurrence regardless of disease status. In combination with the limited number of infected cervids that die directly from CWD, these factors contribute to the infrequent observation of cervids that suffer acute deaths from CWD in the wild.
There are documented observations of cervids infected with CWD courtesy of the CWD Alliance, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the University of Wyoming. Additionally, there is the story of a hunter witnessing a CWD-infected cervid’s death directly from the disease, courtesy of the Quality Deer Management Association.
The second year of results span January 2018 to January 2019.
The higher mortality of CWD-positive deer was attributed directly and indirectly to the disease, according to DNR researchers.
"The disease was determined to be the cause of death in several animals, but CWD-positive deer die from lots of causes, and the disease seems to make the animal more vulnerable to those," Storm said.
Sickened animals are less aware of their surroundings, less responsive to stimuli and less physically coordinated, according to researchers.
Hunting was the leading cause (four times higher than any other) of death for all deer in the study.
Studies in the western USA have found that CWD negatively impacts elk and mule deer survival and population size, but no field research has documented the impact of CWD on white-tailed deer survival or population growth in Wisconsin. Furthermore, there is not any ongoing work in the Midwest that specifically addresses the direct impact of CWD on deer survival.
We show that a chronic disease that becomes endemic in wildlife populations has the potential to be population-limiting and the strong population-level effects of CWD suggest affected populations are not sustainable at high disease prevalence under current harvest levels.
it's not rocket science...
CWD POPULATION DECLINE
In the endemic area of Wyoming, for example, the prevalence of CWD in mule deer has increased from approximately 11% in 1997 to 36% in 2007 (Almberg et al., 2011). In such areas, population declines of deer of up to 30 to 50% have been observed (Almberg et al., 2011).
In areas of Colorado, the prevalence can be as high as 30% (EFSA, 2011).
''As of September 2019, CWD has been identified in 31 of 37 (84%) Wyoming mule deer herds, nine of 36 (25%) elk herds, and generally wherever white-tailed deer occur. Increasing prevalence and distribution of CWD has the potential to cause widespread and long-term negative impacts to Wyoming’s cervid populations. Prevalence of this disease in chronically infected Wyoming deer herds has exceeded 40%, with one elk herd exhibiting nearly 15% prevalence.''
''for the first time, there is clear evidence that CWD is adversely affecting the overall health and viability of some herds.''

Colorado Chronic Wasting Disease Response Plan December 2018
I. Executive Summary Mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk and moose are highly valued species in North America. Some of Colorado’s herds of these species are increasingly becoming infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD). As of July 2018, at least 31 of Colorado's 54 deer herds (57%), 16 of 43 elk herds (37%), and 2 of 9 moose herds (22%) are known to be infected with CWD. Four of Colorado's 5 largest deer herds and 2 of the state’s 5 largest elk herds are infected. Deer herds tend to be more heavily infected than elk and moose herds living in the same geographic area. Not only are the number of infected herds increasing, the past 15 years of disease trends generally show an increase in the proportion of infected animals within herds as well. Of most concern, greater than a 10-fold increase in CWD prevalence has been estimated in some mule deer herds since the early 2000s; CWD is now adversely affecting the performance of these herds.
folks, you just can't stick you head in the sand, and hope cwd tse prion goes away, it just does not work that way. don't get caught up in the fake news the captive industry wants to give to you...
