The exact modes of CWD transmission in wild deer are unknown. The numbers of CWD
prions shed by infected deer in natural conditions is unknown. The length and timing of
CWD shedding by infected deer is unknown. The genetic effects on CWD susceptibility and
resistance to infection are unknown in susceptible species. All the above unknowns should
be given an increased research priority.
In spite of the expenditure of over $100,000,000 of public funding across North America, and thousands of animals killed, no prevention, control, or eradication methods employed by the various north American wildlife agencies since 1998 have been shown to be effective in either preventing increased prevalence of CWD or the increased geographic distribution.
