This resource delves into two significant diseases affecting deer populations: Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). It highlights the differences between these diseases, including their causes, transmission methods, geographic distributions, and ecological impacts. The document provides detailed information about EHD, emphasizing its viral nature, the role of midges in transmission, seasonal patterns of outbreaks, and associated clinical signs and mortality rates. It also presents a case study of an EHD outbreak during a drought for critical thinking and analysis. Moreover, the resource covers CWD, discussing management strategies, stakeholder perspectives, and the importance of public education. Students are guided to evaluate management approaches, develop awareness campaigns, and engage in reflective exercises regarding the long-term threats posed by these diseases to deer populations.
