Manitoba Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Dashboard
A dashboard intended for the purpose of easily and efficiently displaying Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) sample data collected throughout the years. Displayed is species, season, and location specific information regarding sampling and sample submission.
This dashboard displays the results of sampling for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer, elk, moose, and caribou. Sampling for CWD has been ongoing since 1997; however, Manitoba only confirmed the first positive case of CWD on November 1, 2021. Since 2021 there have been a total of 30 positive cases across Manitoba, illustrating the need for extensive sampling and tracking of cervids.
CWD is a fatal disease of the central nervous system of deer, elk, moose and caribou, members of the cervid (deer) family. The disease is caused by one or more strains of self-propagating proteins, called prions. The prions, once transmitted, begin to spread, first in the immune system (lymph nodes and tonsils) and later, in the brain, spinal cord, and other organs. There is no cure for CWD. It is always fatal, with animals dying typically within two to three years and sometimes, as long as five years or more from the time of infection.
The dashboard shows all species and season data since the confirmation of the first CWD case in Manitoba in 2021, as well as the number of positive and negative samples submitted. Hunters can also view the comprehensive list of all drop-off depots that accept CWD sample submissions.
This dashboard was created by the Manitoba Wildlife Branch.
