Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible, always fatal, neurological disease that affects deer and other cervids such as elk, moose and reindeer/caribou.
Effective March 31, 2022, CWD was detected in North Carolina in a deer in Yadkin County. In response, CWD Surveillance Areas with special regulations have been established.
