| Chronic
wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform
encephalopathy (TSE) of deer and elk. First
recognized as a clinical “wasting” syndrome
in 1967 in mule deer in a wildlife research facility in northern Colorado, it was identified as a TSE
in 1978. CWD is typified by chronic weight loss
leading to death. There is no known relationship
between CWD and any other TSE of animals or people.
