Funding to fight two diseases, Johne's in cattle and chronic wasting disease in wildlife, would end but more money is sought for a livestock-tracking plan.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) infects large numbers of deer and elk, with the potential to infect humans.

The Company offers specific assays for Chronic Wasting Disease among elk and deer, and Mad Cow Disease among cattle.

Chronic Wasting Disease Similar to mad cow disease, CWD is carried by deer and elk in 15 states and Canada.

Chronic wasting disease was not diagnosed among cervids tested during the study period, consistent with the previous lack of detection of the disease in Ontario.
