What happens to your sample
What happens to your sample when you submit a deer for chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing? As a guest of Pennsylvania’s Wildlife Futures Program, we took a unique tour of their CWD Diagnostic Lab, which is part of the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Lab system.
The Wildlife Futures Program performs critical testing of Pennsylvania wild deer and elk for CWD. Testing is performed using both the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay test (ELISA) and ImmunoHistochemistry (IHC). Of the thousands of samples received each year, most are processed and tested during hunting season. Even during the heaviest sampling period, hunters can usually receive results in five to seven days.
To help fight CWD, NDA encourages all deer hunters in or near CWD management areas to submit each harvested deer for testing. Visit the website of your state wildlife agency to learn more about CWD areas and how to participate in testing.
About the Wildlife Futures Program: Launched in 2019, the Wildlife Futures Program is a novel partnership between the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) and the Pennsylvania Game Commission aimed at strengthening the resilience of the Commonwealth's 480 species of birds and mammals. The Wildlife Futures Program is committed to discovering innovative and proactive solutions to a variety of complex wildlife health challenges.
