CWD is a fatal nervous system disease that impacts cervid (deer family) mammals. In deer, it has a 100% mortality rate and would be devastating to Maine?s deer hunting tradition.
CWD has not been detected in Maine. The nearest population with CWD is in Pennsylvania, though it was found in New York in 2005 (but not since).? We continue to monitor and test Maine's cervid populations for CWD. Together we can help protect Maine's white-tailed deer.
