AB A white-tailed deer farm in Portage, Wisconsin, was depopulated in January 2006, after chronic wasting disease (CWD) had been initially discovered on the property in September 2002. Prior to the depopulation, a total of 22 positive animals had been removed from the property: one in 2002, six in 2003, ten in 2004, four in 2005 and one in 2006. At the time of depopulation a total of 76 animals remained: 47 females and 29 males. Age was assessed by visual examination of teeth at the time of death and revealed 26 adult, 8 fawn and 42 yearling animals. The following tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry for PrPcWD using Ab99/97.6.1: obex, tonsil, retropharyngeal, submandibular, parotid, prescapular, axillary, inguinal, prefemoral and popliteal lymph nodes, recto-anal mucosal tissue and eye. Seventy-nine percent of animals (sixty) were found to be positive in at least one tissue; 49 were obex positive, 58 retropharyngeal positive, 56 tonsil positive, 48 recto-anal mucosal associated lymphoid tissue positive and 4 animals were positive for PrPcWD in the retina. Prion genotype was determined for all animals.
