Because it\u2019s more or less likely to go in any direction.    What this means from a surveillance point of view is that  we need to keep looking, and we need to look widely as well.  We can\u2019t just look around places where we\u2019ve seen it before.  We need to be monitoring across the province to find out where the disease might be spreading.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Coltman is now looking at genetic factors beyond the prion gene that could influence resistance or susceptibility to Chronic Wasting Disease in deer.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the<b> Canadian Institutes of Health Research.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p><\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY,\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/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>\u00a02010-02-23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a decade since the first cases of <b>Chronic Wasting Disease<\/b> appeared in farmed deer and elk on the prairies.
