\nKentucky state officials are reminding hunters not to bring whole deer or elk carcasses into the state from states infected with chronic wasting disease.<\/p>\n

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said chronic wasting disease is a contagious and fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk and similar animals native to North America. There’s currently no evidence the disease can be transmitted to humans.<\/p>\n

The state said hunters face prosecution if carcasses are illegally brought into Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The disease has been found in 24 states, including Ohio, Arkansas, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia and Pennsylvania, as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n

Kentucky doesn’t have the disease in its animals and prohibits importation of whole carcasses or high-risk parts from animals killed in infected states and provinces.
