Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2008
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of North American deer, elk and moose, affects both free-ranging and captive cervids. The potential host range for CWD remains uncertain. The susceptibility of the ferret to CWD was examined experimentally by administering infectious brain material by the intracerebral (IC) or oral (PO) route.

The Economic Impacts of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Wisconsin

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2004
The major economic impacts of CWD have been on hunters rather than other sectors of the Wisconsin economy. This article shows that by using available data and plausible assumptions, hunter losses likely amounted to between $53 million and $79 million in 2002 and $45 million to $72 million in 2003.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) of Deer and Elk

, 2002
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) of mule deer, rocky mountain elk, and white-tailed deer causes fatal damage to the central nervous system. A study of New Jersey deer harvested in the 1997-98 deer seasons found no evidence of the disease. Another survey of hunter-killed deer from the 2002-03 season found that CWD is still not found in New Jersey Wild Deer.

The Economic Effects in 2002 of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Wisconsin [PDF]

, 2002
Wisconsin's 600,000 deer hunters will bear the brunt of the economic losses from chronic wasting disease (CWD) in the Wisconsin deer herd. Though studies have not been done to pinpoint a precise value, preliminary estimates place the losses to deer hunters at between $70 million and $100 million this fall. CWD will also cause deer hunters to spend less
