The only fact is a very small percentage of deer and elk have it and the first time it was found was in the 60's as this was when testing started. If this is the case how in 40+ years has CWD not spread throughout north America like cancer as some would say? What has more of an affect on our Game population CWD or the poor management from our province such as killing all the doe's in Alberta?
But I have to tapp out on researching this issue as I have my own 50 page thesis paper to write, and all I have found to my questions is the same answer it is unknown.
If someone continues researching this topic and can find factual information as to WHERE CWD originated? (Not in 1967 because of a test I know this already) How CWD originated? How CWD is transferred? And if this is a natural disease or something created through human involvement.
Please P.M me
Thanks in Advance

Exactly!!!!!!
Same as cruetsfelt Jacobs diease, Same as Variance cuetlsfelt Jacobs disease, same as Bovine Spongeiform Encephelopathy AKA: BSE AKA: Mad Cow Disease.
Is it possible CWD is a naturally occuring disease in wild ungulate populations and only because our current ungulate populations are at a historic all time high we are seeing an increase in reported cases?
...Probably not because SRD doesn't think so and they are a bunch of geniuses...you know, same as Alberta can't support a Grizzley hunt and Bighorn sheep are on the Brink!!!!
