Two cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal disease affecting cervids such as deer, elk, and moose, were found in Mississippi on Dec 29, 2020, says the state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP). Both were hunter-harvested white-tailed deer, bringing the state up to 78 suspected or confirmed white-tailed deer cases since 2018 and expanding the disease range in the state.
A study of hospital air contamination in JAMA Network Open last week found that 17.4% of air samples from environments near COVID-19 patients were positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, the virus that causes COVID-19, but only 8.6% contained viable virus.
The case raises concerns about the state's feeding program, which attracts thousands of elk.
