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?
