Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been identified in multiple U.S. regions, prompting various state-level management responses. In Minnesota, the Department of Natural Resources confirmed a case in a wild female white-tailed deer near Stillwater. This detection marked the first occurrence in deer permit area 236, located approximately 30 miles from previous cases in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. In response, officials considered standard containment plans, such as banning deer feeding and potentially expanding hunting bag limits. In Delaware, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control implemented emergency regulations following the state’s first confirmed discovery of the disease earlier in the year. To contain the spread, authorities established a CWD Management Zone in central Sussex County. These measures include mandatory reporting of harvested animals at designated stations and a statewide ban on natural urine-based ‘buck lures’ to reduce activities that congregate deer. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-17: Delaware implements emergency rules to contain Chronic Wasting Disease Delaware has enacted emergency regulations and established a management zone in Sussex County to contain the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) ahead of the upcoming hunting season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/delaware-implements-emergency-rules-to-contain-chronic-wasting-disease ### 2026-08-04: Chronic Wasting Disease Confirmed in Wild Deer Near Stillwater, Minnesota Minnesota DNR confirmed chronic wasting disease in a wild female deer near Stillwater, the first case in that area, prompting possible feeding bans and increased hunting limits. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chronic-wasting-disease-confirmed-in-wild-deer-near-stillwater-minnesota --- Cite as: Chronic wasting disease outbreaks in the United States.
