    Can ‘zombie deer’ disease spread to humans? (msn.com)

    NewsNation) — A neurological infection rapidly spreading in deer causing “zombielike” symptoms could potentially be a risk to humans.

    Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a deadly neurological illness that is only known to affect deer, elk, moose, reindeer, and muntjac and is spread by misfolded natural proteins called prions.

    While there is no strong evidence CWD can infect humans, some research has shown that the disease could pose a risk to people if they eat infected meat or have contact with sick animals.

    The study notes that the disease can infect more parts of an animal’s body than other prion diseases, which could make it more likely to spread to people who eat deer.

    Since February, CWD has been reported in animals in at least 32 states and four Canadian provinces, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is always fatal in infected animals, and there is no vaccine or treatment.

    Researchers studying the illness, first discovered in 1967, are working on a potential outbreak. They are focusing on public health surveillance, lab capacity, prion disease diagnostics, surveillance of livestock and wildlife, risk communication and outreach, reported Daily Montanan.


    “The bottom-line message is we are quite unprepared,” Michael Osterholm, an expert in infectious disease at the University of Minnesota, told the outlet. “If we saw a spillover right now, we would be in free fall. There are no contingency plans for what to do or how to follow up.”

    Osterholm and a coalition of experts are very concerned about the possibility the disease could pass to humans, the outlet reported.

    Experts have referred to symptoms in the infected animals as being “zombielike,” including emaciation, excessive salivation, lack of muscle coordination, difficulty in swallowing, excessive thirst and excessive urination, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.

    “Cooking doesn’t kill prions…cooking concentrates the prions,” Osterholm told the Daily Montanan.

    Between 7,000 and 15,000 infected animals are unknowingly consumed by hunter families annually, the outlet reported.

    The prion-based disease is also difficult to detect because it has a long incubation period, so those who are infected may not contract the resulting disease until many years later, according to the University of Pennsylvania.

    Other prion illnesses are mad cow disease in domestic cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans.

    Animal researchers say increased testing, including rapid tests of deer and other cervid carcasses, is the key to preventing the illness, according to the Daily Montanan.

    Researchers have developed a way for hunters to do their own testing, though it can take weeks for results. There’s hope for, within the next two years, a test that will reduce the wait time to three to four hours, the outlet reported.

      Actually Larry Chronic Wasting Disease was created as a biowar weapon on an Army Post in Colorado. They trapped a number of mule deer and penned them up with merino sheep with scrapie as merino sheep of King Philip II were known to have what the Scots named "scrapie" over deranged sheep scraping off their wool. In the early 1960s the program was cut prior to the Nixon ban with Soviet Russia on banning the biowar programs. Just as Lyme Disease is named after the Connecticut town where first detected the Plum Island ticks were released. The mule deer let free infected new animals and elk and whitetail deer get infected easier than mule deer. The first detection in wild deer wqas found in Ft. Collins Colorado in 1967 It since has spread to 36 states and most of Western Caniduh. Last year 18 new counties had it and it is in a majority of Missouri's 114 counties.

      I was asked a question about it from Stephen J. Cannell in the mid 1990s and I informed him that it was created to be a bioweapon in the first place. So then he wrote a thriller novel "The Devil's Workshop" where a composite character was portrayed as a "Christian Identity White Supremacist" leader of racist hobos who capture the mad scientist who creates a "Pale Horse Prion' targetting jews and negroes. There is a bunch of "A-team" silliness but then again that is what sort of stuff Cannell wrote. Lt. Colonel Reverend Fannion KLinkaid was certainly over the top, but while insane was not stupid.

      Anyways, I have been studying this disease since the mid-1990s
      and writing about it, Since a virus is made out of proteins with nothing but RNA to spread, isn't a prion which misfolds to infect other proteins such as cells and viruses likely the first stage of evolution by making amino acids forming proteins to spread itself via "misfolding"? Perhaps ancient proteins were the very first life in that proteins spread themselves by misfolding then in that was starting the RNA to DNA process of life?

      I have a thread on my web pages. I met you at Silver Dollar City in the early 2000s and my sister said you tried to get her to raise pureblood Labradors.

      Whatever you say isn't more than a quarter of the real danger.

      DON'T EAT DEER MEAT IN INFECTED COUNTIES.

      By the time it is detected in wild deer they already been infected from 2-4 years and the prions are in the ground 5 years. Doing like Wisconsin tried to do by having hunters kill more deer didn't work there or in Caniduh. It has already infected Norwegian reindeer.

      Hail Victory!!!
