Wildlife researchers test deer for wasting disease From: The Gazette | Date: May 19, 2001| Author: | Copyright 2001 The Gazette. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

In order to test deer for chronic wasting disease, wildlife biologists usually need a dead animal at their disposal.

Not anymore.

As of Friday, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, with the help of Colorado State University's Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory, began researching whether deer can be tested while they are still alive.

Or asleep, actually.

Between now and the end of the August, a group of researchers and wildlife biologists plan to tranquilize and test an estimated 200 deer near Estes Park and along the northern Front Range, said Todd Malmsbury, spokesman for the DOW in Denver.
