Thread: Serious Warning. Zombie disease hits 24 States in USA and Canada.

I would say we are quite safe until sheep and goats become infected. From there it is a probability that the disease will be transmitted to humans predominantly in areas such as the Florida Everglades, Hobart, West Coast etc

heres a discussion about cwd

Just read of another state alert. Amongst the report it said the disease can survive in soil for 16 / sixteen years.

After reading that,,mmmm no wonder the brain cells are a tad depleted,far to much veni.

I’ve not read the above articles yet but saw that they have just found that it is a bacteria that causes CWD which is quite a brake through.
Long story short the guy who has discovered this plans to develop a vaccine in the first year he plans to develop a hunter test kit so hunters can test for the infection in the field. Second year injectable vaccine to stop the collapse of deer farming and by the third year have this turned into an oral nasal vaccine that can then be added to salt licks etc for wild deer. Considering that the incubation period is 12 to 18 months this is very good news!

This is a worry, seems like it could possibly be spread by soil on footwear or similar - and there is quite a few hunters that hunt both NZ and USA. Like Didymo.

but worse, I can see some bright spark in Twigs and Tweets thinking this is a great idea to bring in...

What's happening in my state of Pennsylvania. This video is from February and is a press conference on the state of CWD.
At around the 6:00 mark one guy explains that one bacterium is causing this in deer and other animals and is also present in humans, not only as CJD, but also as misdiagnosed Alzheimers and other neurological diseases.
