密歇根新闻广播 密州扩大对鹿有着致命性危险的一种疾病的监控（在线收听）

Chronic wasting disease is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer.

The State Department of Natural Resources is concerned about the spread of CWD through Michigan's deer population.

Chad Stewart is a deer specialist with the DNR.

Stewart told us that of 5,000 deer tested, the DNR has found only seven that were infected with CWD. But, he added, if left unchecked, CWD will spread quickly and could devastate Michigan's deer population over the coming years.
