| Unfortunately there seems to be a locus of infected animals in the general area where Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas cone close to each other. The game move about from state to state, and infected animals contract the diseas from each other. Here in Colorado the disease is by far the most common in the north east part of the state, but it has spread across the continental divide and has been found in a small number of deer and elk on the western slope. It is aparently not too easily spread from one animal to another in the wild, but has been shown to move much more quickly between animals in confined herds. |
