First Positive Case of Chronic Wasting Disease in Indiana

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has confirmed Indiana’s first positive case of chronic wasting disease in LaGrange County.

CWD is a neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer, resulting in their eventual death.

This positive case is adjacent to a region where CWD had previously been detected in Michigan.

CWD has been detected in wild deer in 33 states, including all states bordering Indiana.
