Background: Best management practices for prevention, surveillance & management of CWD

Last week, we posted video of a Minnesota House Environment and Natural Resources Finance Division hearing about Department of Natural Resources spending in the effort to stop the spread of chronic wasting disease in the stat'e's wild deer herd.

Much of the testimony came from DNR wildlife research manager Lou Cornicelli. Cornicelli is also active in the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and served as a contributor and editorial review team member for an important technical report the group issued back in September 2018.

Here's AFWA Best Management Practices for Prevention, Surveillance, and Management of Chronic Wasting Disease, adopted by the AFWA's Fish and Wildlife Health Committee in September.
