CWD is classified as a
transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) and is similar to mad cow disease in cattle and scrapie in sheep.
Although CWD is a contagious, fatal disease among deer and elk, research suggests that humans, cattle and other domestic livestock are resistant to natural transmission. While the possibility of human infection remains a concern, it is important to note there have been no verified cases of humans contracting CWD.
