Darrell Crabbe, executive director of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, said the prevalence of the disease in some areas is \u0022disturbing.\u0022
CWD, which the Ministry of Environment calls “endemic” in parts of the province, is a fatal infection of the central nervous system in cervid animals like deer, elk, reindeer and moose.
In the South Saskatchewan River Valley, CWD is more pervasive. The province estimates roughly 87 per cent, plus or minus nine per cent, of male mule deer are infected.“These are among the highest rates reported globally,” a statement from the Ministry of Environment said. CWD has now been found in 59 of the province’s 83 wildlife management zones. The disease is considered endemic across southern Saskatchewan and south of the boreal forest, a provincial statement said.
Animals suffering from CWD are less likely to survive severe winters, but recent seasons haven’t tamped down their numbers, he said, adding that mule deer in particular, reproducing and spreading, is likely also part of the increase in cases.
