Page 9 - MDWFP CWD Response Plan

Adjacent States with a Confirmed CWD Positive

 The MDWFP will coordinate with the state wildlife agency in the adjoining state
where CWD has been confirmed. MDWFP staff will gather the adjoining state’s data
concerning their past CWD surveillance program.
 If the CWD positive location is within five miles of the Mississippi border, a CWD
Containment Zone will be established within that portion of a 5-mile radius circle that
falls within Mississippi. Sampling and surveillance procedures will be implemented
using protocol outlined under the management actions section of this plan that
addresses free-ranging cervids.
