Question for midwest large animal vets or wildlife experts

[Khampelf]

There’s a blurb in the paper today about ‘epizootic hemorhagic disease’ passing from deer to cattle in Ohio. The article is bylined Reynoldsburg. Is this related to, or a subset of, the chronic wasting disease that I read about affecting midwest deer populations?

(outside of animals, causing hemmorages?) If you don’t know, describe it in latin.
Transmitted by contact, maybe?

EHD should not be confused with the always fatal chronic wasting disease, which has not been found in Ohio or Kentucky. CWD has been a problem in Wisconsin and has been found in Illinois and West Virginia.

Here’s some more info on the disease: SOM - 404 - Page Not Found

Thank you, Gfactor. This far south and west, the article was trimmed down to about five sentences.
