AR-News: (US WI) Wildlife Experts Fear Spread of CWD in Portage County

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Chronic wasting disease experts fear the fatal brain disease could crop up in 
the wild in a new spot in the state -- Portage County.
Nearly two years after it was first discovered in wild deer in southwestern 
Wisconsin, the ailment has been found no farther north than Sauk and Columbia 
counties just north of Madison. Portage County is right in the center of the 
state and about 100 miles away from Mount Horeb where the first deer with 
chronic wasting disease east of the Mississippi River was discovered.
