Oregon Monitors For Chronic Wasting Disease

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Fish and Wildlife plans to increase efforts for hunters to have their animals tested after a case of chronic wasting disease was found in a deer near Spokane, Washington. Chronic wasting disease is spread among deer, elk and moose. There's no evidence it can be transferred to people, but research shows it might be possible. Hunters are advised to not eat animals that test positive for CWD. Oregon has tested decades for CWD and has not found a positive case. It has also been detected in Idaho and California.
