Fatal neurological disease found in members of deer family
Saskatchewan saw the highest number of confirmed cases of chronic wasting disease the province has ever recorded last year, according to the Ministry of Environment.
The province recorded 349 confirmed cases of the fatal neurological disease, which affects members of the deer family, in 2018, said Iga Stasiak, a wildlife health specialist with the Ministry of Environment.
In comparison, a report released by the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative in February says there have been a combined 497 confirmed cases between 1997 and 2017.
