Texas Chronic Wasting Disease CWD TSE Prion Dashboard Update August 2025
Greetings Texas Hunter,
i thought i might post an update on CWD, lot of science coming out. i have followed cwd in cervid, madcow ie Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy BSE in Cattle, Scrapie in sheep and goats, the new prion disease in camels, and the new outbreak of cwd in wild pigs in the USA, and of course human TSE Prion CJD, since losing my Mom to confirmed Heidenhain Variant Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease hvCJD, confirmed, back around Christmas of 1997. That’s why i have followed it all so closely, you only have to see it once. i have been posting on https://www.cattletoday.com/forums/ncba-r-calf-cool-usda-no-politics.11/ since about 2005 or so, about BSE, and when i saw a new forum about hunting, i thought it would be a good opportunity to bring awareness about CWD PrP in cervid. i hope some of you find this useful. i post my updates with source data on my blogs, i do not make money from this, it’s for educational purposes. i will start with an update on Texas CWD, update on outbreak of Chronic wasting disease prions in wild pigs in (Texas and Arkansas) North America Preliminary Outbreak Assessment, Environmental Factors from CWD, plants hay, grains, TSE Prion uptake risk factors, human CWD zoonotic risk factors, livestock CWD risk factors (CWD transmits orally to cattle, pigs, sheep, cervid, primates). i am pro hunt, meat, gun, but i hate TSE Prions, you should too, they are 100% fatal once clinical, and they kill you…Good Luck!
p.s. if you don’t want to read, just move on, this isn’t a hoax, no conspiracy theory, the DNR TPWD TAHC et al isn’t the enemy, yes cwd kills deer, it’s not the friggen car ins co., it’s cwd tse prp, it can stay in the soil from 15 to 21 years. what about Property Values?
what about our children and grandchildren, is this what we leave them?

“Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease and can devastate deer populations by silently spreading through direct animal contact and contaminated environments. Without close monitoring, illegal movement of captive deer increases the risk of introducing CWD to areas it is not known to exist, potentially leading to widespread outbreaks which will impact more than just the health of Texas deer.”

Chronic wasting disease prions in cervids and wild pigs in North America Preliminary Outbreak Assessment DEFRA 26 January 2026 Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Preliminary Outbreak Assessment
Chronic wasting disease prions in cervids and wild pigs in North America
26 January 2026
Disease report
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of cervids, such as deer, elk, moose and reindeer. It is caused by prions – infectious proteins that cause normal cellular prion proteins to misfold (CIDRAP, 2025). The disease is widespread in captive and free-ranging cervids in North America (Figure 1). For the first time, CWD prions have also been detected in the tissues of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) caught in CWD-affected areas of the USA (Soto et al. 2025). This discovery emerged from a study designed to investigate potential interactions between wild pigs and CWD prions, as wild pigs often coexist with cervids, which can shed prions into the environment. The following assessment discusses the epidemiology of CWD in North America and the detection of CWD prions in wild pigs. It also considers the potential implications for Great Britain.
Conclusion
CWD has continued to spread among captive and free-ranging cervids in North America since it was first detected in the 1960s. The finding of CWD prions in wild pigs in the USA suggests they could contribute towards transmission of the disease, influencing its epidemiology, geographic distribution and interspecies spread. However, further research is needed to confirm this. CWD has never been reported in Great Britain and the current risk of CWD prions being introduced into Great Britain’s wild pig or cervid population ranges from very low to negligible.
Readers are reminded to be vigilant for signs of CWD. Information on how to spot the disease can be found here. Suspected cases must be reported immediately to the Defra Rural Services Helpline on 03000 200 301. In Wales, call 0300 303 8268. In Scotland, contact your local Field Services Office. Failure to do so is an offence. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Confucius Ponders, what about Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa), they can cover some distance rather quickly, what about Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) digging up the terrain, and as they do it, what if these Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) were exposed to CWD TSE Prion, and then they go on exposing and saturating the land with CWD TSE Prion, then the soil becomes contaminated with CWD TSE Prion, then what about the plants that grow from that soil for the decades to come, what if???
