Not trying to play fear monger here, but let's keep in mind that since this disease can cross barriers, and I'm referring to the point that plants can take this prion up and pass it to animals that forage on it, how long will be before other species such as pronghorn pick it up? The first question is: can it cross the barrier to pronghorn? If it can cross to mice, then, just maybe, it can cross to pronghorn or whatever species eat the plant. So what other methods dioes it pass? Through urine or feces. It would seem that any game species in the endemic area could pick it up from the environment. If that can be proven at some later point, imagine how hunting could be impacted in a given state.
