Abstract:

"The incurable disease has serious implications for the state's deer herd." The disease has not yet been detected in North Carolina but the state has been active in surveillance. Current measures for prevention include banning importation of live cervids known to be susceptible to CWD, banning importation of whole cervid carouses and regulations on the use of urine and other secretions from cervids used to attract wildlife.
