Description
Chronic Wasting Disease, a prion protein disease that is fatal in elk, deer, and other cervids, has now reached Idaho near the Oregon border. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that about half of Oregon elk carry a gene that makes them less susceptible to the disease, which could help slow down CWD’s progress into the state.
