Fortunately, there is no evidence that humans have ever contracted chronic wasting disease from eating infected animals. I hunt, and I'm not worried.

So far it is primarily an animal disease. The more it is contained to animals, the better.

It has no disease control system. This virus can infect not only birds, but other animals too,

What if this animal had a disease? What if it got loose and hurt someone? We can't allow exotic animals to live with people like this.

I have an understanding about disease and the relationship to birds and animals. I won't know near as much as staff veterinarians and researchers, but I will be able to understand what they are talking about and hope to help integrate that into what we are doing.

The close proximity between people and animals and insufficient surveillance and disease control capability in eastern African countries create an ideal breeding ground for the virus,
