MARGO PYBUS:<\/strong> <em>What we&rsquo;ve done this year is we&rsquo;ve expanded the area so that it&rsquo;s coming that much further into Alberta because we&rsquo;re trying to lay a foundation for, if the disease doesn&rsquo;t occur in these areas now and then if the disease continues to expand, is it going to show up in a broader area? And that&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve expanded the mandatory zone so that we can get some baseline data, hopefully before the disease is in these areas. And then if it spreads into those areas, we&rsquo;ll know exactly when it got there. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Pybus, hunters can drop off their deer heads at 36 collection points in small towns throughout the surveillance region. Freezers are available 24 hours a day complete with bags and tags. <\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks today to the <strong>Canadian Institutes for Health Research <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Learn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca\">Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/cihr.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02009-11-26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Hunters<\/strong> play a key role in Alberta&rsquo;s surveillance of <strong>Chronic Wasting Disease. <\/strong>That&rsquo;s by turning in the heads of whitetail and mule deer they shoot along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
