There is a private company here in Colo. that now has a "live" test that is working to detect CWD in the lab. They will have to get approval before it can be used in the field. I'm sure more lab testing will have to be done, ect ect., so it may be awhile before this is even a reality. This would be good for the "penned up critter farms", but I don't see it helping the wild herds much.
