More good news on cwd. - 05/28/18 06:06 PM
Not sure how this flew under the radar. But this really blows big holes in the hypothesis that cwd started in Colorado. Unless one believes that deer/elk swam from the US to Norway.
So it seems that “if you test for it you’ll find it” has more merit than “it was created in a pen in Colorado and will destroy wild deer populations just before it kills all human life on the planet”.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was diagnosed in March 2016 in a wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from the Nordfjella mountain area in Norway. This was the first documented case of CWD in Europe. In May and June 2016 CWD was diagnosed in two mooses (Alces alces) in Selbu in South Trøndelag county, approximately 300 km north from the first case.
