Live CWD testing and info

Good morning all, I just wanted to bring to attention the latest information on available live CWD testing. Lets start off with saying that there are still the individules and orginazations that still publish that there are no live cwd test and only the current dead animal testing is available. Not so at all, 

The Wyoming game and Fish with the university of Wyoming have been doing live tonsilar biopsy for its 4th year now, And are able to show if infection is in deer shortly after samples are taken. See Todd Cornish PHD and DMV .

Also University of Colorado in conjunction with the dept of agriculture has been working on live cwd testing and through a swab of inside the deers tonsils they are now able to detect cwd in an infected animal long before it shows any physical or visible signs in nature. This is great news for the sportsman and hunters of our country. I will post the abstracts and conclusions later this evening when I get back in my office . I reviewed the testing and research that has gone into this and this look promising like a step forward to a possible vaccine or treatment. That's still a little ways out but the Colorado test shows a acuracey rate 0f 92 and 96 % I also personally know of the first live test done on a captive deer herd and all deer came back with no evidence of cwd in their animals. Look forward to updating everyone on this.(Quote)
