Biologists will also be present to collect biological, data from the harvested animals. Because chronic wasting disease has been found in animals in surrounding states, Utah officials will be checking wildlife to ensure that the disease has not spread to Utah. They will also be checking game which was harvested in other states. Chronic wasting disease is a relatively rare transmissible disease that affects the nervous sys- -' terns of afflicted deer and elk. There has been no evidence that leads officials to believe that the disease naturally infects other big domestic live. game species or stock. There is no evidence of the disease in Utah however, surveys have found that deer and elk m parts of Colorado, Wyoming. South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wisconsin are in- -' fected with the deadly disease. There is considerable concern ; . . that the disease wiU spread into Utahs deer and dk populations. Therefore, the DWR will conduct random samplings of harvested deer and elk to check fix the disease, particularly in the eastern Utah area where it is I V-.- y Chronic wasting disease is not caused by a virus or bacteria.

Regardless, wildlife officials are using extreme caution to ensure that the spread of the disease does hot occur in Utah. Even though chronic wasting disease has not been found in Utah, hunters should not harvest animals that , appear sick, nor should they eat meat from suspect animals. While there is little evidence that the disease affect; humans, the DWR advises hunters to take the following precautions when handling the carcass of any deer or elk. Do not handle or consume wild game animals that appear sick. Wear rubber or latex gloves when field dressing big game.
