Georgia DNR taking steps to protect against Chronic Wasting Disease
The Georgia Department of Natural
Resources will lx?gin a five-year survey this
fall in an attempt to determine if Georgia's
white-tailed deer herd may have been
infected with Chronic Wasting Disease
(commonly referred to as CWD). While
DNR currently has no evidence that the
disease has made it into our deer popula
tion, discoveries of the disease in Minneso
ta, New Mexico and Wisconsin have proven
that no state should consider itself
immune. To survey the deer herd, DNR
hopes to collect between r>()() - (i(X) samples
of central nervous system tissue from
hunter-harvested deer this fall. Samples
will lx* tested at a lalxiratory in Athens to
determine if any of these animals show

tests, no vaccines, no cure and a disease
that always kills animals that are infected,
conservation agencies are concerned the
disease could ravage deer populations in
the eastern US. Further compounding the
problem is that deer populations in the east
may be worse suited to naturally survive
the infection due to naturally higher deer
densities (causing more rapid spread of dis
ease from animal to animal) and more
wooded habitats making sick deer harder
to detect.
CWD is one of a group of diseases known
as transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies or TSKs. These diseases
can lx' given from one animal to the next
and may not cause the death of these ani
mals for several years. Similar diseases are
known to occur in cattle (mad cow disease),
sheep and humans. Within an infected ani
mal the disease -auses proteins to mutate
and congregate in the brain of the animal.
Holes form in the brain around these con
gregations causing animals to behave
abnormally and ultimately die. The best
protection for any deer herd is to prevent
the animals from Ixang exposed.
DNR's survey will lx-gin this fall and will
include collection of hunter-harvested am
mals. Collections will be limited to mx of
the areas in Georgia where the risk of
introduction of CWD is considered highest

lection areas are to Imj circular areas of a
four-mile radius around facilities that have
purchased and imported deer in the recent
past. While the purchase of deer was legal
for these facilities, the fact that these ani
mals may have been purchased through
sale barns or other locations where they
were in contact with numerous other deer
makes these facilities higher risk than
those which have not acquired deer recent
ly. DNR personnel will be contacting per
sons in and around these areas of interest
with instructions on sample submittal for
that area. DNR will then be processing
samples and submitting these samples to
the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Dis
ease Study lalxiratory in Athens, Georgia
for analysis
Even though DNR is not expecting to
find animals testing positive for CWD,
Georgians will benefit from knowing that
our deer are being sampled. If CWD is
detected during the survey, Georgia will
likely benefit from the proactive survey and
can take steps to control the disease. DNR
is asking Georgians to help protect against
the disease by reporting any deer that
exhibit signs of excessive salivation or uri
nation, head tremors or emaciation to your
local DNR office. Hunters and wildlife
enthusiasts alike can also help by inform
ing anyone who may consider illegally buy
ing deer about the risks of CWD and its
potential impact to Georgia.
