Chronic Wasting
Disease

The topic of Chronic Wasting Disease is particularly important in states with large whitetail or mule deer populations but the subject of prion-based diseases (like BSE-Mad Cow) is important to everyone. Students can perform a mock laboratory identification test to confirm infection and discuss the rapid spread of prion diseases in wild and captive animal populations. What are the implications to human health?

Suitable for 6th grade students to adults.
