Cervidae Disease

Cervidae can be affected by a number of diseases, but the ones most commonly seen and/or tested for in Idaho  are brucellosis, tuberculosis (TB) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
  
Producers should be vigilant and respond quickly if they suspect they may have infected animals in their herd by contacting their regular veterinarian to schedule testing.  The Animal Health Lab can run many different types of tests once appropriate samples have been obtained – contact them to see which tests they are able to offer.
  
In addition to (and including) the above-mentioned diseases, Idaho has lists of diseases that are considered reportable or notifiable.  If found in an animal, these should be reported to Animal Industries in the appropriate timeframe.
