HighlightsChronic Wasting Disease, a deadly disease that has devastated deer and elk populations in other regions, has been detected in British Columbia. The disease is 100% fatal in infected animals. Genome BC is funding a critical research partnership with Simon Fraser University that is using population genomics to better understand how the disease may spread, which areas are most likely to be affected and identify what targeted strategies may be most effective to prevent continued infection.

A non-profit B.C. genomics organization is stepping up to fund a two-year research project into a fatal wildlife disease that was recently discovered in the province this year. Genome BC, which has supported genetics research and innovation for over 25 years in the province, is lending support to an effort to study Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a fatal wildlife disease that was confirmed by lab testing in two deer near Cranbrook in January.
