Game and Fish continues to monitor brucellosis in elk

Hunters asked to submit elk blood samples for chance at great prizes

CHEYENNE ? Hunters have long been considered an invaluable resource for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department?s efforts to collect biological samples for study and testing. This fall elk hunters in select hunt areas are again being asked to collect blood samples from their harvested animal to help in the department?s brucellosis surveillance efforts. Brucellosis is a disease caused by the bacteria Brucella abortus. Elk, bison and domestic cattle are susceptible to brucellosis, which may cause animals to abort calves and further transmit the disease.
