Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease of deer, elk, and moose. CWD was first diagnosed in Virginia in 2009 and has been detected in Frederick, Shenandoah, Clark, Fauquier, and Culpeper counties.
Frederick County, over the last ten years, has had 72 cases of CWD. Shenandoah has had 10, and all other locations have each reported one case.
Of the cases detected – hunter have killed 75 deer, cars 6, and 4 as a result of suspected illness.
CWD is caused by abnormal infectious proteins called prions. Prions can pass between deer through saliva, feces, urine, and through water or soil contaminated with prions. CWD is not infectious to humans.
Older male deer are more likely to carry the disease.
The best method for prevention is to stay informed through DGIF and to contact them if you know of any deer that is contaminated.
The potential impacts of CWD to the Virginia white-tailed deer population are a serious concern, though the disease has not been shown to pose a health risk to humans or domestic animals. DGIF is responsible for CWD surveillance and management in Virginia. The Department relies on assistance from hunters, taxidermists, processors, other agencies, and diverse constituent groups to implement surveillance.

During the 2019 General Assembly Session, the Republican-led General Assembly was able to set aside nearly $450 million for a Taxpayer Relief Fund to give money back to hard-working families this October.
In order to qualify, returns must be filed before July 1st, and the taxpayer can’t owe any back taxes to their local government, Virginia, the IRS, or any other state agency. For those who do, the money will go to settle those debts.
If you’ve already filed your taxes, you’re eligible for a refund of up to $110 for those filing individually and $220 for those filing as a couple.
Rebates won’t exceed a taxpayer’s total tax liability. For example, if your Virginia income tax liability was only $50, your check would likely be $50 instead of the full $110 or $220.
If you’ve already filed your state tax return you are qualified! If you haven’t, hurry! The filing deadline is in less than two weeks.
Here are some other tips to ensure your return is processed smoothly:
If I can ever be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to call me at (540) 280-0778 or email me at DelRCampbell@house.virginia.gov.
It’s an honor to be your voice in Richmond.
Sincerely,
Ronnie Campbell
