Abstract
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has appeared widely in the media lately, but has actually been around for a while. It was first recognized in Colorado in 1967, in a captive research herd of mule deer. Its rapid expansion, to include eight states and two provinces by the year 2002, has created a crisis.
