I'M DOCTOR LARKIN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND WHO YOU'RE WITH AND BEGIN YOUR PRESENTATION WELL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME CHAIRS HANSEN THE NEW YEAR BRITAIN AND MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE COMMITTEES THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU TODAY; MY NAME IS PETER LARSON AND THIS IS A PROFESSOR.
THE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.
ALSO CO-DIRECTOR OF THE MINNESOTA CENTER FOR PRE ON.
RESEARCH AND IN PRO.
I'M JOINED HERE TODAY WITH DOCTOR TIFFANY WOLF.
>> IN PRO CO-DIRECTOR AND MARK SCHWAB IN PRO PROGRAM MANAGER AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND. SURE MY SCREEN HERE. SO RUNNING.
HOW DOES THAT LOOK FOR EVERYBODY.
>> GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED SO I'M GOING TO SOME OF THE RESEARCH AND OUTREACH OPPORTUNITY OR RESEARCH OUTREACH AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONDUCT IN THE LAST. >> AH. >> PAST 6 MONTHS OR SO.
GO AHEAD AND TRY TO ADVANCE THIS.
>> OKAY; THIS IS A PICTURE OF HER NEW SUSPICIONS OF A KOREAN RESEARCH LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY; THE CITY IN THE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE WE HAD HOPED TO OFFER. SOME AN ON-SITE TOUR. SOME TIME.
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING DOWN BUT THERE'S SOME IMAGES OF OF THE NEWLY FORMED A RESEARCH LAB. SO AGAIN TO REMIND EVERYONE OUR GOAL.
IS TO DEVELOP CBD DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS THAT ARE FASTER MORE SENSE TO BE EASIER TO USE.
AND TO DEVELOP FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES THAT COULD BE USED WITHIN 2 YEARS THAT THAT SET OF FALL 2021 TIME FRAME.
AND ALSO THOSE PROTOTYPES FOR NEW CITY DIAGNOSTICS COULD BE USED WITH HUNTER HARVEST A DEER LIVED HERE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES.
SO IN JANUARY TWENTY-TWENTY THEM IN PRO BECAME FULLY OPERATIONAL.
IN MARCH 2020 ALL NON UNIVERSITY MISS ALLOWED SHUT DOWN DUE TO COVID-19.
AND THERE WAS A ONE YEAR HIRING FREEZE IMPLEMENTED.
IN JUNE AND LATE JUNE EARLY JULY 2020 THE MINERAL MEN PRO LAB REOPENED AT 50% CAPACITY; SO WE WERE SHUT DOWN.
FROM LATE JUNE EARLY JULY.
BUT NOW WE'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING AT 50% CAPACITY.
FOLLOWING UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES WE HAVE LIMITED STAFF WITHIN THE WITHIN THE LABORATORY TO HELP REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE LAB.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED 3 INDEPENDENT LINES OF RESEARCH THAT GENERATED SOME REALLY EXCITING PLANETARY DATA JUST IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE GOOD NEWS IS EVEN THOUGH WE'RE OPERATING AT 50% CAPACITY HIRED SOME EXCELLENT STAFF.
WE HAVE STUDENTS WORKING FOR US THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY MADE AMAZING WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADAPT AS BEST WE CAN DO THIS NEW COVID-19 REALITY.
THE FIRST LINE OF RESEARCH I I'LL HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE MEN DIG DEEPER INTO ONE IN PARTICULAR.
BUT I CAN'T GO INTO TOO MANY DETAILS BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING THROUGH WE HAVE IP AND THERE WILL BE PATTEN'S INITIALLY.
SO IF I WRITE TO ME DETAILS THAT COULD RESULT IN PUBLIC DISCLOSURE; I'M TRYING TO NAVIGATE THAT AS BEST I CAN TRUE. THE OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGING COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE UNIVERSITY MINNESOTA.
FIRST RESEARCH AVENUE THAT'S REALLY EXCITING IS ANTIBODY ENGINEERING.
WE'RE GENERATING NEW SMALL ANTIBODIES THAT HAVE GREAT BINDING SOLUTIONS TO PRE ON PROTEINS THAT'S REALLY EXCITING OPENS UP TO TURN A LOT OF ANTIBODIES RECENTLY. DUE TO COVID-19.
WHERE A SIMILAR RESEARCH LINE WE'RE IDENTIFYING AND BUYS A COMBINED TO CBD PRIYA US.
LIGHT-BASED NANOTECHNOLOGIES SO WE CAN THERE'S PLENTY OF OF RESEARCH OUT THERE PUBLISHED ON THIS AREA.
WHERE WE CAN DETECT UNIQUE LIGHT SCATTERING ACROSS PRIX ON POSITIVE.
PATHOGEN IQ MISS FORM KOREAN POSITIVE MATERIAL.
VERSUS NEGATIVE AND WE'RE ADAPTING SOME OF THAT FOR CBD AND SOME VERY RESULTS OF THAT.
ONE IN PARTICULAR IS RT QUICK AND A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS DURING THE LAST SESSION.
SESSIONS THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY.
YOUR PROTEIN APPLICATION AS IT'S RT QUICK IS A NEW RELATIVELY NEW TOOL THAT THE CBD DIAGNOSTIC COMMUNITY IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.
AND THEN MICROFLUIDIC HOUR OR 2 QUICK IS TAKING THAT MESSAGE AND MAKING IT SMALLER CHEAPER EASIER TO USE AMID TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS METHOD BECAUSE.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED. WE HAVE THIS FULLY OPERATIONAL NOW IN THE MID UPPER WET LAB AND WE'RE EXPANDING ON AND THIS IS A GREAT ASSET FOR THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. THAT IS JUST COMING ONLINE HERE. AND REAL QUICKLY. THE WAY THAT THIS WORKS.
CBD PRIX ON SOME SHOWING YOU AN IMAGE OF A CBP ON IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND THERE YOU CAN SEE IT'S IT'S MISS FORMED; IT'S GOT ALL IT'S LIKE STACKS.
PROTEINS NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
IF YOU TAKE SEEM TO BE PRETTY ON A NEW YOU TAKE A SAMPLE YOU PUT IN A TO C PUT THAT ATTEST TO WHAT NORMAL KOREANS AND SHOWING YOU WHAT NORMAL KOREANS LIKE THERE.
IF YOU TAKE THAT AND YOU MIX IT WITH NORMAL KOREANS; BUT THE NEW INCUBATED AND SHAKE IT. OVER TIME.
IT WILL CAUSE THOSE NORMAL PRIUS TO MISS FOLD INTO THE ABNORMAL SHAPE. THIS IS LIKE A DAISY CHAIN REACTION.
OK THE WAY OR TO QUICK IS IT LEVERAGES THAT REACTION.
BUT IT RECREATES A REACTION OF PLAY IN A IN A 96 IN A TUBE IF YOU WILL IN THE 2.
AND IT CAN MEASURE THE MISS FOLDING.
USING A FLUORESCENT DYES IS A FLUORESCENT DYE THAT WE ACTUALLY REACTION THAT BINDS THE MISFOLDED FORM.
AND IF THERE'S A CBD POSITIVE SAMPLE THAT CAUSES AT DAISY CHAIN REACTION WE CAN MEASURE IN REAL TIME USING A FLUORESCENT DYE OKAY.
AND THIS IS JUST A WAY TO VISUALIZE IN SO IT CAN DETECT YOU CAN USE IN TISSUES LIKE LET'S SAY LYMPH NODE OR MUSCLE.
IT CAN DETECT SEE TO BE POSITIVE TEARING ABOUT 9 HOURS AND IN THAT PICTURE ON THE LEFT THERE AND SHOW YOU THE MICHAEL PLATE READER THAT WE USE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE. AND CAN ALL OF THE FORMAL TERM MULTIPLE REACTIONS ALL AT ONCE.
SO IT CAN SEE THE LET'S SAY LYMPH NODES ABOUT 9 HOURS.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES IT TAKES A LONGER.
IN THIS GRAPH THIS IS A READOUT THIS IS WHAT WE WHEN THE REACTIONS HAPPENING.
I KNOW IT'S KIND OF COMPLICATED THERE; BUT ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS; THOSE CURBS THERE. THOSE ARE SERIAL DILUTION IN THE CBD POSITIVE LYMPH NODE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT BLUE THAT FIRST BLUCHER HOW GOES UP RAPIDLY WE'VE ASKED THAT REACTION HAPPENING.
THAT'S THE DYE BINDING TO THOSE OF US FOR PRE ONS AND HAS A.
AS A MISS FOR IT TODAY AS A THAT CHAIN REACTION HAPPENS.
THAT INTENSITY IN FLUORESCENCE ON THAT Y AXIS GOES UP AND UP AND UP. AND WE CAN MEASURE THAT.
AND COMPARED AGAINST CONTROL SAMPLES AND THAT'S HOW ARE TOO QUICK WORKS.
THE REASON WHY THIS IS SO EXCITING IS THAT THIS IS USEFUL FOR BOTH LIVE AND HARVESTED DEER.
SO THEY CAN BE YOURS FOR BLIND. WE HAVE A PROTOCOL NOW IS ACTIVE IN THE LAB WHERE WE CAN DO OUR TICKET FROM BLOOD SAMPLES. WE HAVE PROTOCOLS FOR FECAL SAMPLES.
TISSUE BIOPSIES OF MUSCLE WE'VE DONE HUNDREDS OF REACTIONS NOW ON LYMPH NODES. YOU CAN USE FOR BRAIN.
SO THE SAMPLE DIVERSITY IS REALLY EXCITING THERE. IT'S ALSO USEFUL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DETECTION OF PRE AND IT'S SO SENSITIVE THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PRESENCE OF MISS LE PRIX ON SINCE OIL PLANTS IN WATER.
WE HAVE PLANT EXPERIMENTS TO GET OUT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS.
OF OUR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. WE'VE STARTED PLANT EXPERIMENTS WHERE WE ARE.
NAKA IMPLANTS BARLEY OATS ALFALFA REPLICATING SOME OF THE PREVIOUS PUBLICATION SHOWING CWD PRIONS CAN BE UP TAKING MY PLANTS. THROUGH THE ROOT SYSTEM.
SO WE'RE DOING THIS NOW IN THE MID PRO WET LAB AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE ARE TOO QUICK TO LOOK FOR PRESENCE OR ABSENCE IN PRE AND A DIFFERENT PLANT TISSUES.
OKAY; I CAN'T I CAN'T HIGHLIGHT HOW EXCITING THIS IS FOR THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND THANKS TO THE SUPPORT IN FULL OUT IT'S THE ONLY ALLOWED TO STAY WITH OUR TO QUICK LUNCH ANALOGY.
WE ARE EXPANDING ARE TOO CAPABILITIES.
WE ARE WORKING WITH THE USDA TO VALIDATE THE VALLEY TRT QUICK AS A AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL THAT'S A USEABLE FOR THE FARM SERVED INDUSTRY; BUT ALSO FOR WE THINK.
FOR FOR FOR HUNTING RIGHT SO WE'RE WORKING WITH USDA NOW ON THE VALIDATION OF OUR TICKET FOR PART OF A MULTI-STATE.
CBD RESEARCH AND WE HAVE FORMED ARE TOO QUICK NETWORK AND SO OVER THE NEXT YEAR WE'RE GOING TO BE USING THE SAME PROTOCOL THAT THE USDA IS USING TO VALIDATE. AND THAT WORK IS GOING TO BE ONGOING.
OUR CURRENT THROUGHPUT AND THIS IS ALL BASED ON THE CURRENT EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE FOR NOW FOR THESE MICHAEL PLATE READERS. WE JUST RECEIVED 2.
2 ADDITIONAL NEW MICRO PLATE READERS BELIEVE LAST WEEK.
SO NOW NOW AS OF THIS WEEK WE HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR A 104 SAMPLES EVERY TO 48 HOURS.
FUTURE UPGRADES.
BOTH USING THE COMING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE WE CAN GET UP TO 488 SAMPLES FOR 4 PER 48 HOURS.
WHEN YOU GO TO A 384. WELL FORMAT BASICALLY IN EACH ONE OF THOSE MACHINES THAT GETS US TO 488 SAMPLES.
AS WE ACQUIRE MORE EQUIPMENT IF WE HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF.
BACK IN EXPAND.
OKAY SOME THE LARGEST LABS IN THE COUNTRY LIKE AT COLORADO STATE THEY HAVE ABOUT.
12 TO 15 OF THOSE LIKE PLATE READERS. AND ARE ABLE
DO MANY ARE TOO QUICK REACTIONS ALL AT ONCE WHAT WE'RE HOPING IS TO GET TO THAT LEVEL.
ALL RIGHT SO THE GOOD THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT ARCTIC WICKETS HIGHLY SINCE THE TEST TO COME USE OF THE VARIETY OF SAMPLES IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN CURRENT DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS.
THE BAD THOUGH IS THAT IT REQUIRES SPECIAL REAGENTS THAT ARE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING TO PRODUCE. OK AND SO THAT'S A LOGISTICAL HURDLE.
THE UGLY PART OF OUR 2 QUICK IS THAT IT'S HIGHLY TECHNICAL TECHNICAL. YOU NEED SPECIALIZED STAFF.
IT'S NOT QUICK. IT'S NOT QUICK. IT'S NOT LIKE THE NAME YOU IT TAKES TAKE HOURS YOU CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS DEPENDING ON THE SAMPLE TIME. AND SPECIAL EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED TO DO THAT.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS ARCTIC. WHAT'S A MAJOR STEP FORWARD WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE NEXT GENERATION THAT'S OF OF CDI NASA TESTING THAT'S GOING TO BE.
GOING TO IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES; ESPECIALLY WANTS THE USDA VALIDATES IN THE COMING YEAR TOO.
BUT WE STILL NEED TO DEVELOP A DEER SIDE FIELD DEPLOYABLE TEST.
RIGHTS ARE TOO QUICK SOUND OF SILVER BULLET WE STILL NEED TO SIMPLIFY IT.
AND REALLY DID THINGS OUT INTO A DNR FIELD STATION. A DEER SIDE TEST.
CANDACE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS.
ALL RIGHT LET'S SHIFT GEARS REAL QUICK AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EDUCATION OUTREACH THAT ARE PERFORMING AND THIS IS THROUGH.
A LOT OF WORK THAT DOCTOR TIFFANY WOLF BEEN FORMING AND WILL BE PERFORMING A HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S UPCOMING.
PROGRAM MANAGER MARCH WOBBLE ANDERSON A GREAT JOB AND DOCTOR ROXANNE LARSON.
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE COLLEGE OF THAT MAN IS HELPING WITH THIS AS WELL.
SO OVER THE LAST YEAR WE'VE REACHED OVER 5400 MINNESOTA THROUGH IN PERSON.
AND ZOOM NOW ZOOM OUTREACH EVENTS AND TRANSITION DUE TO COVID-19 OUTREACH EVENTS.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO ADAPT THAT OUTREACH RESPONSE TO COVID-19.
JUST RECENTLY AND THERE'S A PDF I THINK THAT MOST OF THE AISLE HAVE.
WE GENERATED AND YOU TRY TO GET MY VIEW HERE SECOND SEE SO IF YOU LOOK AT MY PRESENT VIEW YOU CAN SEE THIS BOOK AND THAT WE GENERATED. THIS IS A AMONG TRANSLATION. WE ALSO HAVE.
WE HAVE MULTIPLE VERSIONS THAT WE CAN USE OF THIS ON THE INSIDE COVER. THERE'S A GLOSSARY OF TERMS.
OKAY GLOSSARY OF TERMS ARE STILL BE D AND THIS REALLY SHOW.
AS IF YOU GO THROUGH THE BOOKLET. IT SHOWS.
IT TALKS OF THE BIOLOGY CITY HOWARD'S HOW CAN SPREAD THROUGH THE DEER OK SO WE'RE TRYING TO.
HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATE YOUTH HUNTERS; BUT ALSO GERMAN GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THIS DISEASE. WE ALSO DEVELOPED AN INSERT THAT CAN CHANGE YEAR TO YEAR.
THAT STATISTICS YOU KNOW FROM MINNESOTA WHERE CBD HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BEFORE.
SOME USEFUL INFORMATION FOR HUNTERS.
POINTED THEM TO THE DNR.
WEB PAGE.
SO THIS IS AN ANSWER THAT WILL BE ABLE TO MODIFY AND UPDATE; YOU KNOW IN THE COMING YEARS DIFFERENT VERSIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE HARD COPIES OF THIS IN MID SEPTEMBER TO TRY TO GET THIS OUT.
SO TO FOLKS BEFORE HUNTING SEASON. RAMPS UP.
WE'VE ALSO PRODUCE THIS IS REALLY EXCITING A 3 D A FULL-SIZE 3 D WHITE BUILD YOUR HEAD.
JUST CYSTIC LYMPH NODES SAMPLING IT UK; SHUN.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT AT THE DNR IS EXCITED ABOUT THE USDA IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SOME SHOWING YOU THIS FULL-SIZED WHITE TAIL DEER HEAD AND. RETRO FANGIO WHEN SNOW JUST FELL OUT.
SO THIS THIS DEER HAD BEFORE COVID HEAVY POINT OF THIS WE WANTED TO TAKE THIS.
AND BRING IT OUT AND SHOW THE PUBLIC AND COPIES OF THIS MAY OUR FIELD STATIONS.
AND PROVIDE MAYBE TO THE BOARD AND WILL HEALTH.
TO HELP TRAIN ON HOW TO TAKE SAMPLES OFF FOR THE FARM SERVING INDUSTRY. COVID HEAD.
CAN'T RELEASE DISTRIBUTE THINGS LIKE THIS. BUT NEVERTHELESS WE CAN EXPAND ON THIS AND AS WE GET COVID UNDER CONTROL WE CAN DISTRIBUTE THIS.
WHAT IT SHOWS IS THAT YOU CAN GO DOWN AND SO THESE ARE OUR SALARY GLANDS. THERE'S IT'S BEEN CUT HERE.
THIS IS THE MOST COMMON TISSUE THAT'S MISS IDENTIFIED 4.
RUSSIA-FRIENDLY LYMPH NODES BUT YOU CAN DIG IN THERE AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PULL OUT.
USING TWEEZERS OR RETROFIT YOUR LYMPH NODE.
AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A PRODUCT OF A ROCKY LARSON THE MARCH MOM AND HIS WORK.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND ON AND THE USDA HAS INTEREST IN INDEX IT IN HAVING THOSE MODELS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO HELP TRAIN PEOPLE ON HOW TO TAKE SAMPLES FOR TESTING. THERE'S A VIDEO THAT HIGHLIGHTS IS ON THE LINK THERE ON THE PAGE.
WE'RE ALSO ORGANIZING CB WEBINARS.
BEGINNING IN OCTOBER THESE ARE FOR ONE HOUR SESSIONS WILL BE 30 MINUTES OF OF TALKING. 30 MINUTES OF QUESTIONS.
I'LL DO THE FIRST TO BASICS OF CWD GIVING MY SLINKY TALK RIGHT HOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS A PRE ON.
HOW HOW DOES IT HOW DOES IT SPREAD TALKING ABOUT ECOLOGY IN DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS.
THEN COREY ANDERSON FROM CIGARETTES WERE NEW WORKING MORE AND MORE SIT AROUND AND HOW TO COORDINATE CENTER OUTS DOING THE POLICY RIGHT WORK ON POLICY. AND WE'RE HELPING WITH.
WITHOUT THROUGHOUT MINNESOTA TRYING TO GET TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC SO WE'RE GOING TO JOIN FORCES AND.
AND WORK TOGETHER ON THIS IN COURT IS GOING TO GIVE THAT 3RD TALK.
AND THEN THE DNR IS GOING TO PROVIDE THAT FOR TALKS YOU CAN SEE OUR SCHEDULE NEEDS NOW THE DATES OF THEIR ACROSS THE BOTTOM MARCH; MOM AND OR.
IS GOING TO BE THE HOST FOR THOSE IN ORGANIZING THAT APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT HE'S DOING. REALLY QUICKLY HERE TO FINISH UP.
WE'RE ALSO ENGAGING THIS IS THANKS TO THE TRUST FUND L C C M R.
WE'RE ENGAGING CULTURALLY HUNTING COMMUNITIES ON CBD OUTRAGED THIS IS LED BY DOCTOR TIFFANY WOLF. MARCH WHILE THE LANDER.
AND I JUST ADDED THIS MORNING YOU CAN SEE LIKE WE NEED TO HAVE EVERYONE COME TOGETHER THIS NEEDS TO BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
THAT BRINGS TOGETHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES; RESEARCHERS POLICY MAKERS.
ON THIS ISSUE IN ORDER TO GET IN FRONT OF CWD IN THE STATE AND TIFFANY WOLF MARKERS IN ME.
LEADING EFFORTS TO OUTREACH TO OUR TRIBAL NATIONS. BUT ALSO AMONG AND.
AMISH COMMUNITIES.
THIS PAPER IT'S WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS RIGHT AT THE END HERE; THIS IS A PAPER THAT CAME OUT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO OUT OF DOCTOR HOOVER'S LAB AT COLORADO STATE.
I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE IT'S THIS SHOWS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS PAPER IS IT SHOWS A HUGE CHALLENGE EXPERIMENTS. CHALLENGE EXPERIMENTS USING WHITE TAIL DEER.
AT THEIR FACILITY IN COLORADO STATE.
THEY SHOW THE MINIMUM INFECTIOUS DOSE TO TRANSIT CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE ABOUT 300 NANOGRAMS. CW POSIT BRAIN MATERIAL.
IF YOU DO THE MATH ON THAT.
YOU HAVE LIKE ABOUT 2.5 GRAMS SOMETHING WAYS THE SIZE OF OF A PENNY.
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INFECT MILLIONS OF YEAR OKAY.
SO THIS IS HOW INFECTIOUS THIS AGENT. IS.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO MANAGE IN THE WILD. IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY.
IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SO INFECTIOUS AND WE NEED TO IDENTIFY
TO CATCH IT EARLY AND TO MITIGATE IT.
WITHOUT WANT TO THANK ALL THE FUNDING SOURCES.
FOR ALL THEIR ASSISTANCE AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND I WILL SCREENSHARING AND THEN OPEN UP THE FLOOR. 2 QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU DOCTOR. MARTIN AND DOCTOR WOLF AND MISTER RAHMAN ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS CORRECT. >> Y
>> VERDAD
>> THANK YOU. MISTER THANK YOU DOCTOR LARSON FOR THE PRESENTATION YOUR ONGOING OF RESEARCH ON THIS SO I AS A AS A DEER ARE REALLY NOT SURE I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
DOCTOR MARSHALL YOU BEEN CONTACTED BY THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH US.
AND HOW DOES YOUR RESEARCH.
WORKING WITH THEIR REPORT RULEMAKING. I LEARNED FROM.
>> WE HAVE I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THE BOARD MENTAL OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST YEAR RT QUICK ABOUT GETTING METHOD UP AND RUNNING.
WE HAVE SUBMITTED A GRANT PROPOSAL RECENTLY WITH THE BOARD ANIMAL HEALTH.
WITH DOCTOR SCOT WELL THAT AT COLLEGE AND SEE HERE IF YOU RECEIVE MINNESOTA.
TO USE OUR TO QUIT AS A METHOD TO LOOK AT PRE ONS ON FARMS THAT HAVE GONE POSITIVE OVER THE FAST PAST 5 YEARS.
HAVE I BEEN CONTACTED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT TRYING TO.
HELP WITH THE BOARD ON ISSUES RIGHT AND CBD I HAVE NOT SPECIFICALLY.
>> WELL NO THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; AND I AND I
YOU KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A TOPIC THAT WE'VE BEEN.
>> DEBATING OVER OVER OVER AGAIN AT THE LEGISLATURE FOR 2 YEARS. AND I JUST FIND IT TROUBLING THAT.
WHEN WE ARE RESEARCH GOING ON AT T U-VERSE MINNESOTA THAT ARE BORDER WALL IS A CONSULTING WITH THEM AS THEY SHOULD BE MORE COOPERATIVE EVER EFFORT. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
>> DONE AND IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TRANSLATE IT.
MATERIALS AND LONG AND OUR WORKING FOR IR.
OUR TRIBAL NATIONS; BUT ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE DOCTOR LARSON THE.
IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOU ARE SEEKING SOME CHANGES TO A PROJECT THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH THE EMERGENT ISSUES A COW.
FOR THE OUTREACH TO DIVERSE HOUSING COMMUNITIES CAN YOU INFORM US.
TO WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE.
>> LA
>> YES; >> THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR; THIS IS TIFFANY WE'LL TIME ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.
THANK YOU REPRESENTATIVE LEE FOR YOUR WE HAD RECENTLY SUBMITTED.
AN AMENDMENT TO OUR WORK PLAN.
RELATED TO THE EMERGING.
ISSUE SON
THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE ARE RESPONDING TO CHANGING DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COVID-19. SOCIAL DISTANCING.
GUIDELINES THAT ARE IN PLACE.
WHERE ARE INITIAL PLANS WORD TO.
REALLY GET OUT INTO AND DO A LOT MORE.
IN PERSON OUTREACH. WE RECOGNIZED.
NOT A LOT OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE GOING AWAY. WE ALSO.
IN A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS. WE'VE HAD.
WITH TRIBAL BIOLOGISTS.
AS WELL AS OTHER RESEARCHERS.
CBD RESEARCHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. ARE RECOGNIZING THAT.
THERE'S ALSO A NEED TO DO MORE WORK. UP FRONT.
THAT HELPS TO INFORM WHAT THESE OUR IT OUTREACH MATERIALS LOOK LIKE.
SO GETTING INFORMATION ON CULTURAL PERCEPTIONS OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH WILDLIFE DISEASE. AND SOCIETAL TRUST.
AS A WAY TO HELP US IDENTIFY WITH THE BEST MESSAGE IS AS WELL AS AS WHAT THE KNOWLEDGE GAPS ARE IN THESE SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES SO THAT WE CAN. AND IS THE BEST APPROACH. AND PROVIDE.
THE BEST INFORMATION THAT THESE COMMUNITIES THAT CAN WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND SO GIVEN LIMITATIONS WE HAVE. AND. IN.
PHYSICALLY GETTING INTO THESE COMMUNITIES AND MAKING CONNECTIONS TO DELIVER OUTREACH.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND WORK THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO GATHER THE KIND OF INFORMATION THAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT TO INFORM. HOW WE DEVELOP THAT OUTREACH MATERIAL.
AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION.
BEHIND THE CHANGES TO THAT WORK PLAN. THERE.
>> LEAH FOLLOWED.
>> DOCTOR WALLS CAN YOU SPECIFICALLY TALKED TO.
THE PEACE AROUND.
DOING THE SURVEY WHERE RIGHT NOW WE'RE FOCUSING ON.
I THINK INITIALLY THIS SURVEY WILL BE HITTING.
THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN COMMUNITIES AND THE AMISH COMMUNITY BUT RIGHT NOW.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS TO.
ONLY DO SURVEY AND TRIBAL NATIONS CORRECT.
>> THANK YOU REPPERT REPRESENTATIVE HANSEN MISTER
AND THAT'S PRIMARILY RELATED TO ACTIVITY TO SO IN ACTIVITY ONE.
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO ALL COMMUNITIES; TRIBAL AMISH TO.
GATHER THE INFORMATION WE'RE LOOKING FOR BASED ON CWD KNOWLEDGE.
>> PERCEPTIONS OF RISK ET WE'RE TAKING A DIFFERENT APPROACH RATHER THAN USING SURVEYS TRYING TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY LIAISON IS TO ACTUALLY DO.
HOLD FOCUS GROUPS GROUP. TO GATHER INFORMATION.
>> ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS.
>> AÚN
>> SURVEYS TRIBAL HUNTERS AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE DNR ON THIS. AND THEY HAVE CONDUCTED SURVEYS OF.
PRIMARILY TARGETING HUNTERS IN. THE DEEP.
DEER PERMIT AREAS WHERE CWD AND DEMICK.
BUT ALSO RANDOM CENTER SURVEYS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
TO TRAIN GATHER INFORMATION ON HUNTER BUT HE HERE.
AS WELL AS RESPONSES TO THE REGULATIONS.
THAT ARE IN PLACE BY THE DNR.
AND OR OUR COLLABORATORS AT THE DNR FEEL LIKE.
THEY'VE GOTTEN VERY GOOD INFORMATION CROSS ACTUALLY FROM HUNTING COMMUNITIES AND SO REPEATING THAT WITH THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN AND MONK COMMUNITIES. WOULD BE A BIT. SOMEWHAT REDUNDANT.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THEM IN THE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES IS RELATED TO THE FACT THAT IN THE NEXT. ONE TO 2; 2; YEARS.
TRIBAL NATIONS ARE GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT.
CWD SURVEILLANCE OF THEIR OWN ON RESERVATION LAND. AND BUT RIGHT NOW.
MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM DON'T HAVE.
PLANS IN PLACE ON HOW THEY WOULD RESPOND IF THERE WERE DETECTION.
SO IF DETECTIONS DID OCCUR; IT WOULD BE A LOT OF SCRAMBLING.
TO WORK WITH THE DEAN ARE AS AS AS WELL U.S. D A.
>> THERE'S A SYSTEMWIDE MUTE I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
>> OKAY THANKS PETER; I'M NOT
WE KNOW WHERE WHERE THAT OCCURRED AND WHAT I WAS SAYING LAST TO CITE LIGHT LIGHT LITERALLY LAST 5 SECONDS.
>> OKAY; IT SO THIS KIND OF INFORMATION IS NOT ONLY IMPORTANT FOR.
>> HELPING TRIBAL BIOLOGISTS DEVELOP CWD MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR RESERVATIONS; BUT IT ALSO WILL ENHANCE PARTICIPATION AND AND DIRECTING MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THOSE TRIBAL HUNTERS AND REALLY DIRECTING OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS.
>> YOU KNOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT THERE ARE RICHES.
YOU KNOW SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHANGING AWAY THE FOCUS FROM THE SURVEY FROM THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN. AND THE AMISH COMMUNITY PLACE.
>> WHAT DONE BACK IN CARTONS
I HAVE RESPONDED THAT DURING THE PRESENTATION THAT POSSIBLE.
I THINK SO.
>> THANK >> YOU. MISTER CHAIR DOCTOR DOCTOR LAI SUMMIT.
WE'VE HAD THIS OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES.
DOES AS A RESULT OF THE RT QUICK NOW I KNOW BEFORE.
THE ONLY WAY THAT WE TECH.
THE PRE ONS WERE ACTUALLY HAVE BRAIN SAMPLES. AND THAT WELL WE.
I THINK IT WAS COULD BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH.
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS SUCH FECES OR.
SLY LOWER YOU'RE IN THAT WE WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T REALLY KNOW BEFORE IT COULD BE.
IS DOES THE RT QUICK NOW GIVE US THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY CHECK.
WE WILL LOSE THOSE OTHER WAYS OF TRANSFER.
TRANSMIT TRANSMISSION TO 2.
ACTUALLY CONFIRM THAT WE'RE THAT'S WE'RE FINDING IT.
IS IS OUR IN OUR PLANTS ALSO ANOTHER POTENTIAL PLEASE REALLY WE CAN FIND TRANSMISSION.
>> Y
>> YOU'RE IN IN FECES IN SOIL.
WE CAN CHECK FOR THEIR PRESENCE OR ABSENCE; OKAY.
THAT'S WE CAN USE OUR TOO QUICK TO DO THAT WE HAVE PROTOCOLS TO DO THAT.
FOR YOUR SECOND QUESTION CAN PLANTS BRING IN. CRAYONS.
THERE ARE 2 PUBLICATIONS OUT THERE SHOWING WHERE THEY IN A LABORATORY GREW. WE GRASS.
PRIYANKA DAMAGED SOIL.
AND THEY WERE PRETTY ON THE LEAVES AND THOSE PLANS WERE INFECTIOUS. AND SO.
THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S ONLY 2 PAPERS. 2 STUDIES OUT THERE.
BASED ON THAT INFORMATION NORWAY IN 2018 BANNED THE IMPORTATION OF HAY OR STRAW FROM CW POSITIVE. REGENTS.
IN OUR LABORATORY WE UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW WE NEED OUR RESEARCH.
TO UNDERSTAND OR THE PRE AND REALLY BEING UP TAKING HIM WHAT VARIETY OF PLANTS ARE THERE BECAUSE I DO THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. FOR OUR. FOR AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES.
AND WE NEED TO DO RESEARCH TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS AND GET AHEAD OF IT AND GET IN FRONT OF IT.
>> SON
>> JUST GIVE ME AN IDEA KNOW WHAT. NO THE WEEK.
BEEN TRACING IT THE PAST HAS BEEN THAT AH OK SO THE DEER HUNTERS KILLED 4;000 YEARS.
AND WE CHECKED THE BRAINS IN A CERTAIN AREA OF THE STATE AND.
WE FIND 11 THERE WERE POSITIVE WOMEN.
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
IS THE FACT THAT WE CANNOT
OTHER SAMPLES SUCH AS FECES IS IS THAT THOSE THAT GIVE US AN INDICATION OF HOW WIDESPREAD IT IS OR JUST LUCK OF THE DRAW A AND. HOW MUCH.
HOW MUCH BETTER IS OR INFORMATION NOW AS A RESULT OF THIS.
>> HER SON GRANDSON OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THE COMMITTEE.
>> RT QUICK IS A MUCH MORE SENSITIVE TEST. RT QUICK CAN IDENTIFY PAS OF ANIMALS.
THAT OR MAYBE A MONTH OR 2 OR 3 INTO THE INFECTION CYCLE. IT'S MUCH MORE SENSITIVE. THE CURRENT TESTS ARE BEING IS.
HAVE A HAVE A FAILURE RATE WHERE THEY COULD MISS OR NOT TO ATTACK THOSE EARLY INFECTIONS. WE BELIEVE THAT OVER TIME.
AS RT QUIT IT'S WIDELY ADOPTED WILL HAVE A BETTER VIEW.
A MORE ACCURATE VIEW OF WHERE CWD IS. IN THE WILD.
SO THAT HELPS ANSWER THE QUESTION IS IT'S JUST A IT'S A RESOLUTION ISSUE.
RIGHT LIKE WHERE YOU HAVE A PRETTY COURSE RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY PROVIDED.
RT QUICK REPRESENTS A NEXT GENERATION THAT GIVES YOU MUCH BETTER RESOLUTION IF YOU CAN FIND. THOSE IN.
ACTIONS THAT EARLIER MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED BY OTHER. THOSE OTHER TOOLS.
THEN WE CAN HELP MANAGE.
>> RIGHT MANAGE THE DISEASE AND IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO SELECT LET ME JUST TRY TO MISTER CHAIR 1; 1; MORE QUICK QUESTION. IN IN.
IN THE INSTANCE OF ACTUALLY DOING A BRINKS SAMPLES YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHICH ANIMAL ABUSE.
IN THE CASE OF DOING FECES IS IT HARD HOW DO YOU KNOW.
IF YOU TESTING THE SAME ANIMAL 2 OR 3 OR 4 TIMES OR IF IT'S A DIFFERENT ANIMAL. AND ARE WE JUST.
TRACKING THE ANIMALS IN SOME WAY SO THAT WE KNOW.
WHAT WE'RE TESTING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TEST LAB ANIMALS NOW.
BUT WHAT HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH ONES WERE DOING IN THEY'RE NOT REALLY DOING THE SAME ONE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
>> AMERICAN TRANSCENDING OF ITS MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE SO I VIEW IT VIEWED THE COMPONENT THIS ENVIRONMENT; A COMPONENT I IF YOU HAVE AN AREA WHERE DEER CONGREGATE. LET'S SAY IT'S A NATURAL MINERAL LICK.
OR THE CORNER OF FIELD IF YOU HAVE AN AREA WHERE DEER CONGREGATE AND YOU'RE ABLE TO DETECT. THE PRE ONS. IN THAT GEOGRAPHIC AREA.
THEN I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE HERD AT SOME LEVEL. THERE'S AT LEAST MAYBE ONE INDIVIDUAL OR MORE THAT ARE.
OFFICIALLY POSITIVE FOR CWD SO YOU TIME HEARD SURVEILLANCE.
THAT'S A WAY THAT YOU CAN LEVERAGE RT QUICK IT'S TO A LIVE ANIMAL SIDE OF THINGS I WILL SAY THIS LIKE FOR. FOR THE FOR TISSUE.
4 OF THE HARVESTED. HUNTER HUNTER HARVEST A DEER.
RIGHT THE LEFT NO THE BRAIN.
THOSE WILL ALWAYS BE VALUABLE TISSUES TO LOOK AT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHERE THE PRE ON IS NATURALLY ACCUMULATE OKAY.
SO IF YOU LIKE THERE'S THERE'S SEVERAL SCALES HERE YOU CAN DO ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING AT THE HOT SPOTS OF THE NATURAL MINERAL LAKE. A PLACE FOR WORD YOU'RE CONGREGATE.
BUT THEN YOU CAN ALSO YOU ALSO.
YOU CAN ALWAYS LEVERAGE.
THE LYMPH NODE OR BRAIN INJURY FROM A 100 HARVESTED ANIMAL OR.
AN ANIMAL HEART OF THE SERVICE AND SERVE AN INDUSTRY.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE PRE AND CONCRETE NATURALLY.
THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIRMAN.
>> VUELVAN
>> I THINK WE SHORTENED DOCTOR MEYERSON ALLOWED MEETING 5 WILLING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE TIME HERE. 3 QUESTIONS REPRESENTATIVE OCCURRED.
>> I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE A QUICK ONE I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
FROM THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION IN QUESTION. THAT.
>> WE DO KNOW ALL THAT THE PRE ONS ARE.
CAN BE FOUND IN BLOOD AND URINE THAT'S NOT A QUESTION.
THE DIFFERENCE WITH RT QUICK IS THAT WE CAN TEST IT MORE EASILY.
AND BECAUSE IT'S SO SENSITIVE WE CAN FIND THE PRE ODDS THERE; BUT THERE ISN'T.
SO THE CLARIFICATION MASKING FORD OUT FROM DOCTOR LARSON IS THAT.
THERE ISN'T A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER PRESIDENTS CAN BE FINED UP FOUNDED BLOOD AND FECES IT'S JUST WE'VE ALWAYS LYMPH NODES AND BRAIN BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONES WHERE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF THE PRE ANSWER GOING TO BE FOUND. I GUESS.
>> JERRY CANS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE YES THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. IT'S BECAUSE THE CURRENT DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS COULD ONLY USE. TISSUES WHERE THOSE KOREANS ARE ENRAGED. BUT WITH RT QUICK IT'S SO SENSITIVE.
THAT YOU CAN DETECTED IN BLOOD.
AND URINE AND THIS IS ALREADY BEEN SHOWN EXPERIMENTALLY OUT OF THE MAIN ARE TOO QUICK LADS AT COLORADO STATE IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL APPS.
>> FOR END OF YOUR COLUMN; YEAH REAL QUICK SO THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; THANK YOU DOCTOR LARSON BUT SO FOR THE PUBLIC THAT ARE LISTENING THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER IT CAN BE TRANSFERRED CWD IN KOREANS CAN BE TRANSFERRED IN FLOODED; YOU'RE AND IT'S JUST NOW WE'VE GOT A BETTER TOOL TO FIND IT. CORRECT. YES; THAT IS CORRECT.
>> THANK DOCTOR MEYERSON AND TEAM AND.
YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IS ON THE COMMITTEE.
I FIND THAT PEOPLE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU CAN FOLLOW A PLAYER.
THANK U NEXT TO MOVE ON TO THE NRA AND DOCTOR PARSONS. WELL.
>> MISTER CHAIR; I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHARE MY SCREEN HERE. LET ME KNOW IF THIS
VISIBLE MISTER CHAIR.
GOOD OKAY.
>> THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY MY NAME IS DOCTOR MICHELLE CARSTENSEN. AND I AM CURRENTLY THE A.
WELL LET'S HEALTH PROGRAM SUPERVISOR FOR MINNESOTA DNR AND I'M ALSO ACTING AS OUR RESEARCH MANAGER. FOR THE TIME BEING.
WITH ME TODAY I HAD A MEETING WHERE ALSO WITH THE NRA AND DAVE BANKI WITH THE POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY WHO WILL BE JOINING ME. LATER IN THE PRESENTATION TO COVER SOME OTHER TOPICS. IN THEIR PERMIT.
SO I'D LIKE TO BEGIN.
WITHIN OR GO OVER HERE. AGO.
TO HAVE AN OUTLINE TODAY OF WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AN HOUR 20 MINUTES.
LET'S GIVE YOU A RECAP OF WHAT HAPPENED THIS PAST FALL JUST SO THAT'S FRESHEN FOLKS MINDS.
AND THEN TALK ABOUT A NEW AREAS UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE NEW AREAS OF DISEASE.
TO WORK ON THIS YEAR WITH 3 NEW AREAS OR GO OVER BRIEFLY.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT ADOPTION PROGRAM.
AND LAND WORKING WITH LANDFILLS.
AND THEN SOME OF THE CHANGES WE HAVE FOG COMING THIS FALL FOR A SEAT OF THE SURVEILLANCE EFFORTS IN LIGHT OF COVID.
AND I'LL CONCLUDE WITH A QUICK UPDATE ON OUR MOVEMENT STUDY.
SO FROM LAST YEAR WE HAD A.
A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT IN COLLECTING SAMPLES WE HAD NEARLY A 18;000 SAMPLES.
COLLECTED DURING THE HUNTING SEASON.
YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SLIDE. THE FOCUS WAS THE NORTH CENTRAL AREA.
WHICH IS AROUND BRAINERD.
WE HAD THE CENTRAL AREA AROUND THE COUNTY AND THEN A LOT IN THE SOUTHEAST.
WE DID FIND 20 THROUGH 3 NEW POSITIVES THROUGH THE FALL HUNTING SEASON.
LAST YEAR AND ALL OF THOSE WERE IN SOUTHEAST; MINNESOTA.
I DID NOT FIND ANY POSITIVE DETECTIONS.
IN OUR NORTH CENTRAL ZONE.
OR IN THE CENTRAL AREA.
ADDITIONALLY AFTER THE MAIN HUNTING SEASON WE COLLECTED ANOTHER 1000 SAMPLES THROUGH SOME LATE HANS IN THE SOUTHEAST.
WE HAD SOME LAND OWNERSHIP THE PERMITS AND THEN WE DID A WINTER.
AGENCY CALLING EFFORT WITH U.S. T A WALLET SERVICES.
TARGETING AREAS WHERE THE DISEASE WAS DETECTED THIS PAST FALL.
SO THAT WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON SPECIFIC SECTIONS IN SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA. THROUGH THAT WORK.
WE DID IDENTIFY ANOTHER 10 POSITIVES AGAIN ALL IN THE SAME AREA IN SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE THE DISEASE.
AND ADDITIONALLY WE HAD JUST OVER 350 DEAR SAMPLED ACROSS THE STATE.
COME TO US FROM VARIOUS BUT THE REPORTED SICK OR THE ROAD KILLS ARE FOUND DEAD.
AND WE DID FIND 3 MORE POSITIVES THAT WAY AGAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST.
TODAY WE'VE SAMPLE OVER 90;000 DEER SINCE 2002 AND WE'VE HAD 88 TOTAL POSITIVE CASES. THE NETS IN 6 COUNTIES.
OLMSTEAD FILLMORE.
WINONA HOUSTON CROWING AND CODA.
WHERE WE HAVE THE DISEASE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT IS IN FROM OUR COUNTY AREA AND THIS IS THE OUTBREAK THEY'VE BEEN MANAGING SINCE 2016. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THE PREVALENCE IS STILL.
REALLY LOW RIGHT SO AT ONE PERCENT THIS LAST YEAR. SO WE BELIEVE WE HAVE AN INSPECTION PERSISTING IN THIS AREA.
AND THAT'S WHY THIS HAS BEEN A FOCUS OF OUR EFFORTS FOR THE WINNER. IS REALLY TRYING TO.
NOT HAVE THIS DISEASE SPREAD OUTSIDE THIS AREA TRYING TO.
A LOWER PREVALENCE OF POSSIBLE AND REALLY TRY TO MAINTAIN LOW DISEASE.
IN THIS AREA IF IF WE CAN TO DRIVE IT TO THE DIRECTION TO LESS DISEASE. WHICH WOULD BE IDEAL.
THIS PAST YEAR WE SPENT OVER 2.7 MILLION.
ON OUR CW THE RELATED WORK.
AMONG THE SLIDE HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE BREAKDOWNS OF THOSE COSTS.
THE WORK OF COLLECTING THE SAMPLES AND TESTING THEM.
IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE SO BETWEEN STAFF TIME.
AND IN THE ROOM; VARIOUS CONTRACTS TO GET THIS WORK DONE.
YOU KNOW; THAT'S A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIS COST COMES INTO THAT EFFORT.
AGAIN WE ALSO CONTRACT WITH USDA FOR THE CALLING ASSISTANCE.
THE DUMPSTER PROGRAM ISN'T HERE FOR JUST OVER A 185;000.
AND THEN WE HAD RESEARCH PROJECTS.
THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON PUT IT TO CW DE GUERRE MOVEMENTS AND GENETICS FOR ANOTHER 156.
SO THE SOURCES OF THIS MONEY FROM THIS PAST YEAR LARGELY CAME FOR GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION HOW 1.5 MILLION WAS SPENT THERE.
THE OFFICIAL PROCREATION AND THEN ALSO DNR DEDICATED ACCOUNTS.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO 2020 HERE INTO THIS FALL AS I MENTIONED WE HAVE THESE 3 NEW AREAS OF DISEASE I WALK YOU THROUGH EACH OF THESE BRIEFLY.
BUT JUST TO ORIENT YOU HERE AND WITH THE STATE PICTURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WEST CENTRAL SURVEILLANCE WHICH IS AN AREA AROUND DOUGLAS COUNTY. WE HAVE AN ESSENTIAL SURVEILLANCE AREA.
THIS IS IN PINE COUNTY AREA.
AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW.
CBD MANAGEMENT ZONE INTO CUT DAKOTA WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE WORK GOING IN THE NORTH CENTRAL AREA AROUND BRAINERD.
AND IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE WE HAVE FAR ALL OF THE ACTION THAT WE'VE BEEN FINDING.
WE DID DISCONTINUE THE CENTRAL SURVEILLANCE AREA AROUND THE KERR COUNTY.
AFTER WE HAD 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF TESTING OVER 4;000 DEER AND NOT FINDING ANY DISEASE.
AND THAT AREA AGAIN WAS CREATED BECAUSE OF A SERVER FARM THAT WAS SOME POSITIVE.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND WE DID NOT FIND ANY DISEASE IN THE WILD THERE AND WE DISCONTINUED THAT EFFORT.
SO IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT DOUGLAS COUNTY BRIEFLY.
THERE WAS A SERVER FARM.
SOME POSITIVE THERE THAT HAD JUST 2 ONE OF THEM WAS POSITIVE THE FEMALE. IN THE MAIL WAS NOT DETECTED.
AND THIS FARM WAS REALLY KNEW IT ONLY REALLY A PRESIDENT FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS FOR THE DISEASE WAS FOUND ON THE FACILITY.
THE SOURCE OF THAT ANIMAL THAT WAS INFECTED; I CAME FROM PINE COUNTY FARM.
SO WE DID VISIT THE SITE AND DO SOME SORRY SURVEY FLIGHT TO LOOK AT DEER ABUNDANCE ON PRESENCE NEAR THE FARM TO GET US A BETTER SENSE OF RISK.
THIS AREA VERY OPEN AND DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF GOOD.
COVER FOR DEER AROUND THE FACILITY. SO THAT IDEA OF SHOTS LIKE CONTACT.
WAS MINIMIZED BECAUSE OF THE DELAY ON THAT LAND AND WE DID NOT FIND A LOT OF DEER PRESIDENT THE AREA.
GIVEN THE THE RISK FACTORS WERE LOWER WITH THE FARM BECAUSE THE ANIMALS ARE THEREFORE LESS TIME. AND AGAIN LAST YEAR PRESENCE AROUND THE FACILITY.
WE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TRY OUT.
A SURVEILLANCE MODEL COLOR SURVEILLANCE MODEL WHICH HAS BEEN USED IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES AND THE SET OF JUST COLLECTING WITH THIS IDEA TO SET ON THE DEER IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT AGE SEX MAKEUP OF THE DURING THE SAMPLE. GIVING MORE WEIGHT TO.
OLDER BOX OR ACTUAL DEER THAT HAVE CLINICAL SYMPTOMS OF THE SICKNESS.
THAT GIVE YOU A HIGHER VALUE SAMPLE BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD TO HAVE THE DISEASE.
SO THIS EFFORT BUILDS IN A POINT SYSTEM THAT THE EACH AREA.
BASED AGAIN ON THIS AGE SEX STRUCTURE OF OF OUR SAMPLE.
AND SO WE ALSO LOOKED AT OTHER FACTORS.
TO INFLUENCE HOW MANY POINTS WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO COLLECT.
BASED ON DEER DENSITIES IN THE AREA.
PRESENCE OF SERVANT FARMS DISTANCE TO OTHER WHILE POSITIVES AND WE'VE SET THE SURVEILLANCE GOALS. AND SO THIS HOPEFULLY WILL.
A VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THIS AREA AND SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACROSS OTHER AREAS OF THE STATE IN THE FUTURE. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE. HOW THIS MYSPACE MODEL WORKS.
AND OUR PINE COUNTY AREA.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT SCENARIO.
THIS AGAIN IS THE FARM WHERE THE ONE POSITIVE FEMALE DOUGLAS COUNTY WAS PURCHASED.
THIS FARM HAD MORE INFECTION.
IN ADDITION TO AN ANIMAL THAT DIED ON THE FARM AND WAS TESTED FOR CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE AND FROM POSITIVE. THEY DID FIND 5 CASES TOTAL.
OUT OF THE 9 TO RUN THAT HEARD.
AFTER THEY WERE DEPOPULATED.
MISS THIS SCENARIO IS.
IS A HIGHER RISK FOR THE WILD YEAR BECAUSE A GREATER DENSITY RIGHT AROUND THAT FARM; IT'S VERY OF WOODED.
REALLY CLOSE TO THE WISCONSIN BORDER. SO A LOT MORE CARE PRESIDENT.
AND AGAIN THEY DEAR INTERACTION RIGHT AT THE FENCE LINE EVIDENCE OF TRACKS.
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FACILITY. SO A LOT MORE RISK.
FOR THERE TO HAVE BEEN SOME TRANSMISSION POTENTIAL. SO.
IN THIS AREA WE HAVE A ISRAEL TO RECREATED.
YOU CAN SEE THIS HIGHLIGHTED HERE IN IN THE SLIDE WERE CALLING THE EAST-CENTRAL SURVEILLANCE AREA.
AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO COLLECT A TOTAL OF 1000 SAMPLES. DURING THE DEER HUNTING SEASON.
AND HOPEFULLY WE DO NOT FIND DISEASE WILL BE DOING THIS WORK FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS WHICH IS INCUBATION PERIOD FOR CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE AND THE HIGH END.
AND WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH WISCONSIN HAVE SHARED OUR MAPS AND PLANS.
IN ANCHORAGE ING SURVEILLANCE TO INCREASE ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER; ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS HERE IN WISCONSIN FOR HOW MUCH AN OUNCE. THEY'LL BE CONDUCTING. WE'LL CONTINUE TO SHARE.
INFORMATION WITH THEM.
IN OUR DAKOTA COUNTY AREA. THIS A NEW AREA WHERE WE SAW THE DISEASE AND A WILD YEAR.
THE ACTUAL DEER'S PICTURED HERE ON THE SLIDE.
SO THIS ANIMAL WAS REPORTED FROM A MEMBER OF THE AS AC AGED AND EXISTING OR ALLEGED BEHAVIOR.
REALLY REALLY POOR CONDITION AND I WAS DISPATCHED BY CONSERVATION OFFICER.
AND THE CARCASS WAS BROUGHT TO THE UNIVERSITY MINNESOTA AS DIAGNOSTIC LAB FOR A FULL NECROPSY.
AND IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT CWD WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS ANIMALS ILLNESS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SLIDE. WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE A LOT OF SURVEILLANCE AND THE SOUTH METRO AREA. FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
SO THIS IS NOT ONLY A NEW TECH SHUN THE WILD BUT WITHOUT GOOD HISTORICAL INFORMATION TO KNOW HOW LONG THIS MIGHT BE HERE. WHERE IT CAME FROM.
AND REALLY HOW LARGE THE PROBLEM WE'RE DEALING WITH.
TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT WE NOT ONLY HAVE CREATED.
A NEW COMMON AREA CALLED 6 '05 THAT ENCOMPASSES KNOW 50 MILE RADIUS AROUND THAT.
THAT NEW POSITIVE BUMPED OUT TO NAVIGABLE OF BOUNDARIES.
WE ALSO HAVE SURVEILLANCE AREA SURROUNDING IT KIND OF A BUFFER AREA.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO COLLECT SOME 150 SAMPLES.
TO BASICALLY SEE HOW EXTENSIVE THIS DISEASE MIGHT BE IN THE AREA.
AND GIVE US SOME MORE THAT WHERE IT IS REALLY A LOCALIZED TO DAKOTA COUNTY.
THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH SAMPLES TO HELP INFORM HOW MUCH DISEASES IN THE LANDSCAPE HERE. SO THIS WORK WILL CONTINUE.
FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS.
WITH A NEW BOUNDARY LIKE 6 '05 BEING CREATED AS A MANAGEMENT ZONE.
THAT COMES WITH A DUMPSTER A PROGRAM WE'LL GO THERE WE'LL HAVE A CAUCUS MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS JUST LIKE OUR OTHER MANAGEMENT AREAS SO. WHEN THERE IS NO DISEASE IN THE WILD.
WE HAVE A LOT MORE TOOLS THAT WE USE TO TRY TO KEEP IT FROM SPREADING OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA. SO THOSE ARE 3 NEW AREAS.
AND WE WILL BE MAINTAINING ON ALL OF THE SURVEILLANCE LEVELS AND AND EFFORTS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN NORTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MANAGEMENT ZONE TO CONTROL AREAS. AS WE HAD LAST YEAR SO THERE'S NO CHANGES IN THE ZONES.
SAME WE'LL HAVE SOME SAMPLING AVAILABLE FOR THE DURATION OF ALL FIREARMS SEASONS. AND THESE AREAS.
THE CARCASS MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS CONTINUE.
AND THERE WILL BE DUMPSTERS AND COURTNEY STATIONS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE ZONES.
VERY SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR.
WHEN THEY HAVE THE SIDE OF THE DUMPSTER PROGRAM AND JAMIE IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE.
AGAIN HERE IN THE SHOW.
>> AQUÍ A
>> THIS YEAR I CAME ON BOARD WITH WILDLIFE HEALTH TOO.
TOUCH WITH THE DUMPSTER PROGRAM AND ALL OF
COORDINATION THAT TAKES PLACE TO GET THE TEMPERATURES ON LAND CAPE TOWN.
LAST YEAR I WAS LED EFFORT WAS LED BY BRIAN LOOSE AND HE RETIRED EARLIER THIS SPRING. SO IT IS ME NOW.
BUT WE HAD OVER 200 TONS OF GEAR WASTE GENERATED LAST YEAR.
AND AS MICHELLE COST WAS ABOUT A $185;000.
SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE DUMPSTER PROGRAM IN THE NORTH CENTRAL AND WE ADDED DUMPSTERS IN THE METRO AND TO KILL 5 WE HAVE A TOTAL 33 DUMPSTER LOCATIONS. OR 6 IN.
THE NORTH-CENTRAL 7 IN THE METRO AND 20 IN THE SOUTH EAST.
ALL BEEN WHO ARE OUT ACTUALLY HAVE.
MOST OF THEM WERE DUE BACK YESTERDAY.
SO WE'RE ALREADY BUSY PUTTING CONTRACTS IN PLACE.
THERE ARE FEW GOOD THAT WE'RE A LITTLE DELAYED GETTING OUT OF OUR OFFICE SO THEY'RE DUE ON THE 3RD. AND IT'S GOING WELL.
SO WE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT TO LOCAL VENDORS. THIS YEAR.
WE AND DECLINED SO WE HAVE AN EXEMPTION TO JUST BYPASS HAVING TO SOLICIT DIRECTLY FROM THEM.
YES AND THEN REQUIRE FUNCTIONAL AT THIS TIME SO WE INCLUDED PHOTOGRAPHS.
OF WHAT WE EXPECT FOR LEAD AND WE'RE REQUIRING PHOTOGRAPHED BACK.
OF WHAT THEIR DUMPSTERS LOOK LIKE FROM THE VENDORS.
WE HAVE CONTACTED SOME DEER HUNTING GROUPS AND THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO GROUPS THAT HAVE OR OTHERS PERCENT GROUPS THAT HAVE CONTACTED US WITH INTEREST IN SUPPORTING. THE PROGRAM.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS MORE DATA GATHERING THAT CARRY OUT YOU KNOW WE LOVE DATA BUT STILL WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PREVENT GROUP WITH TOTAL COST PER DUMPSTER STATE. WITH HOPE THAT MOVING INTO 2021.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE GROUP ADOPT AN ENTIRE STATE FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THAT MICHAEL THERE.
BETTER AT WITH AN ADOPTED UP THE PROGRAM.
>> A BANK HERE YOU AVAILABLE.
>> YES; I AM A MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE; BUT INSTEAD OF BANK AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE DIVISION AT THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY. SO ONCE YOU PUT THE DUMPSTERS OUT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A PLACE FOR THE WAYS TO GO.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE AGENCY COMES IN WE'VE BEEN WORKING THE.
FOR SURVEILLANCE AND TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A. DISPOSAL LOCATION.
THAT CAN MATCH THEM.
FEES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT OUT SO THERE'S SOMETHING.
AVAILABLE FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE AREAS.
WE KNOW THAT IF THE TEAR GAS LEFT IN THE LANDSCAPE THAT'S THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN.
SO GETTING THOSE INTO A LANDFILL OR INTO A.
DISPOSAL IS THE BEST THING.
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT CONTAINED.
IMPROPERLY DISPOSED.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT SEEN THROUGH THE RESEARCH THAT THERE'S A HEALTH RISK ASSOCIATE WITH THE LANDFILL.
THE ADVISORY IS WITH THE EVENING. THE POSITIVE.
MEDICINE AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THE.
BUT YOUR REMAINS DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
SO LIKE I SAID WE'VE BEEN ASSISTING THE DNR TO IDENTIFY LANDFILLS GOING TO WASTE ENERGY FACILITY IS TO IDENTIFY.
THEY'RE CONSIDERING HER OPTIONS THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THE DUMPSTER PROGRAMS. IN THE AREAS OF SURVEILLANCE.
SO THE WEST CENTRAL WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THINGS WITH BOTH OF US.
AT THEIR WASTE ENERGY FACILITY TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE.
THE WASTE IN THAT AREA THAT SOME POSITIVE THE FEEDBACK FROM THEM.
THIS WILL BE THE SAME LEVEL OF OF THE NUMBERS; IT'S A.
TARGETED NUMBER OF SAMPLES THROUGH THE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A.
WHILE WAS IN A CAPTIVE HEARD.
THE SAME THING WITH THE EAST CENTRAL. AND WE HAVE.
LANDFILLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THAT AREA.
WE'VE ADVISED LANDFILLS AND HOW TO MANAGE THE PRINCE TO CONTINUE TO REDUCE RISK. THE SAME THING IN THE SOUTH METRO.
WITH THE LOCAL LANDFILLS THERE TO HELP MANAGE STAINS.
AND IN THE NORTH CENTRAL YOU'LL PROBABLY AGREE.
NUMBER FROM OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT THE.
COEN COUNTY PUT IN PLACE IN THEIR CURRENT INCINERATOR TO MANAGE. THE CARCASSES.
THIS WAS A WILD POPULATIONS; SO IT WAS A MANDATORY TESTING OF THE.
HIGHER VOLUME OF OF MATERIAL.
FROM NOT ONLY THE HUNTERS FROM THE LOCAL.
WHAT YOUR SON DOESN'T PROCESSORS.
SO THERE COULDN'T CENTER IS REALLY WORKED OUT WELL IN TERMS OF.
MANAGING WHAT COMES WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO USE IT WILL CONTINUE THAT.
IN THAT AREA IN THE SOUTHEAST WE ACROSS COUNTY LANDFILL. THEY'VE BEEN MANAGING.
THE DEER CARCASSES AND REMAINS FROM.
WISCONSIN FOR A NUMBER YEARS AND A LOT OF THE WAYS THAT'S GENERATED THEM.
THE SOUTHEAST ENDS UP GOING.
THAT DIRECTION YOU IN SOME ENGINE THAT WAY.
I MADE A LOT OF SENSE. WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH OLMSTEAD COUNTY AND THE.
NORTHERN END OF THAT SURVEILLANCE FERIA.
THEIR WASTE ENERGY SYSTEMS TREND SIGNED. AN OPTION THERE.
IN CASE THERE'S SOME TYPE OF.
CARCASS RESTRICTIONS WITH WISCONSIN ARE SOME TYPES OF MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO MANAGE THOSE. IN THE STATE.
YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF THE.
ACTUAL CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE POSITIVE DEAR THE DNR.
STILL TRIES TO RECOVER THOSE IN ANY CONFIRMED ONES THAT THEY RECOVER THEY'LL USE THE OAKLAND I JUST ARE. FOR DISPOSAL SO.
WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE RISK KEEP THE.
WASTE OFF THE LANDSCAPE.
MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE A.
BUT IMPACT OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE BUT HAVING.
YOU'RE LEFT ON THE LANDSCAPE FOR.
POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO OTHER GEAR.
KAY THANK YOU DAVE.
>> THOMPSON JUST A FEW MORE SLIDES FOR ME.
I WANTED TO MENTION THAT WE DID EXPAND OUR DEAR SHEDDING SEEDING IN ATTRACTING BAN.
BECAUSE OF THESE NEW DETECTIONS IN 3 AREAS OF THE STATE.
THAT ALSO EXPANDED ACCORDINGLY.
SO WE HAVE SOME NEW PLACES WHERE FEEDING OR FEEDING OR ATTRACTING SIR NOT ALLOWED.
SO THE ADDITION OF THE ATTRACT AND SAYS ALL IS WHEN WE HAVE DISEASE IN THE WILD.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE THAT YOU'RE BEING DRAWN AREA AND POTENTIALLY EXCHANGING FLUIDS. AS A DOCTOR LARSON WAS DISCUSSING EARLIER.
SO TALKING ABOUT 2020 A LITTLE MORE SPECIFICALLY.
WE DID CHANGE FROM ALL THE MANDATORY SAMPLING THAT WE HAD DONE IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS TO A VOLUNTARY BASED EFFORT.
AND THIS IS TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCES OF DISEASE TRANSMISSION.
BETWEEN HUNTERS HAVE BETWEEN HUNTERS UNDERSTAFFED FOR HACKERS AND STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE WORKING WITH US.
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO FORCE A REQUIREMENT FOLKS HAD TO INTERACT. WHEN THEY DIDN'T FEEL SAFE.
OUR SAMPLING GOALS FOR THIS YEAR DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE ALL OVER AREAS. WE'RE EXPECTING A AND PERCENT CONFIDENCE. WE CAN DETECT THE DISEASE.
IF THEIR NUMBER ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION; SO OUR TARGETS ARE STILL VERY HIGH.
WE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE STILL GOING TO GET GOOD INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE DISEASE IS. AND ISN'T WITH THIS EFFORT.
HUNTERS DO MAKE IT TO A CWD SELF SERVICE STATION.
OIL CAN HAVE AN OPTION TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER WALLET STAFF.
SO WE ARE SETTING UP THAT WHERE THAT STAND THE TRUCK.
DNR STAFF PERSON TO COME OUT AND MEET WITH THEM.
AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN BY APPOINTMENT.
WE'VE MADE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OVER 50 TAXIDERMIST ENTERS OWNS.
TO COLLECT SAMPLES FOR US AND THAT WE PAY THEM A FEE.
WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING WITH SOME MEAT HAS A NEW EFFORT TO SEE HOW THAT CAN WORK AND BE ANOTHER SOURCE OF SAMPLES IN THE FUTURE.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION STAND PLACE FOR ALL OF OUR DISEASE MANAGEMENT AREAS.
WHERE WE INTEND TO ACTUALLY TAKE THE SAMPLES THIS YEAR WILL ALL BE EXTRACTION SITES DNR BUILDINGS STAFFED BY DNR STAFF AND THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AS WELL.
OUR ARE CONTINUING AT A VERY HIGH IN ADDITION TO PRESS RELEASES AND.
DO YOU KNOW; SO WE PUT OUT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA. BROOKE BLASTS ABOUT CWD.
WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS YEAR'S RACE BOOK HUNTING RANKS BOOK.
THAT INCLUDES WHERE STATIONS ARE.
AND ALL OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THE RATE TODAY IS BILL ON THE BOOK.
WE KEEP THE WEBSITE UP TO DATE ALL THE TIME FOR ANY CHANGES AND DIRECT FOLKS THERE.
4 LOCATIONS IN THE DUMPSTER SIZE; AN EXAMPLE.
AND HOW TO FIND THOSE.
WE HAVE NEW METAL SIGNS THAT WE TRADED FOR PUBLIC PLANS TO MAKE SURE FOLKS NO-HITTER AT A W MAY WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE IN CWD MANAGEMENT ZONE OR NOT.
WERE INCREASED OUR SIGNAGE AT OUR STATIONS TO MAKE SURE THE SELF-SERVICE STATIONS AND MORE VISIBLE.
CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THE DUMPSTERS ARE VISIBLE WITH MORE SIGNAGE A LARGER SIGNAGE ON THE WE HAVE ARE USING LAST YEAR AND CERTAIN SITES. WE'VE UPDATED AGAIN.
SOME OF OUR VIDEOS FOR HELPING HUNTERS UNDERSTAND HOW TO CAPE FEAR.
HOW QUARTER GEAR IF THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE HIS OWN.
AND NOW WE ARE ALSO DOING SOME MASS MAILINGS FOR HUNTERS THAT ARE LICENSED IN THESE NEW.
FROM AREAS THAT WERE WORKING IN A SO THAT THEY KNOW FOR SURE THAT THERE'S A CHANGE TO THE HUNTING THEY'RE USED TO.
SO ANY OF THESE NEW ZONE; SO THE TALK ABOUT THE 3 NEW AREAS ALL LICENSED HUNTERS THAT HUNT TYPICALLY AND THOSE PRONE AREAS ARE GOING TO BE GETTING A MAILING TO DR. VERY SOON TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE CHANGES.
REAL
I WANTED TO TALK QUICKLY ABOUT THE DEER MOVEMENT STUDY IN THE SOUTHEAST WHICH IS LARGELY FUNDED BY I'LL SEE SHE MARK DOLLARS.
AND SO WE'RE IN OUR 3RD YEAR HERE WITH THIS AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY INTERESTING INFORMATION THAT WE JUST SHARED A FINAL REPORT LCC MAHER. IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED TO BE HAPPY TO TOOK FOR THAT REPORT TO THE CASE. BUT WE HAVE.
INTERESTING MOVEMENT DYNAMICS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THESE YEARLY DEAR.
SO THE COLLAR TO SPONSOR THEIR FIRST WINTER LOOKING TO SEE HOW FAR THEY DISPERSED.
AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TAKE IS A DISEASE WITH THEM.
IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEER STAYING.
CLOSE ENOUGH TO THEIR NATO RANGES THAT THEY WELL CONTAINED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF OUR CURRENT CBD MANAGEMENT AREAS SO OUR 50 MILE BUFFERS.
TEND TO SUFFICIENT FOR FOR DISPERSAL EVENTS; ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME.
ANOMALIES TO THAT WITH SOME LONG-DISTANCE MOVERS AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS MAP.
AS THE GRAY DOTS INDICATE SOME HAVE MOVED IN IOWA.
SOME LOOKED UP NORTH BUT THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT IS VERY INTERESTING HERE AND THAT IT'S BEEN TO THE WEST. SO THESE DEER THAT ARE.
PRIMARILY COLANDER ON THE PRESS AND SHOW MORE PERIPHERY ARE NOT MOVING TOWARDS ANY OF THE CASES THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR MOVERS; THEY'RE MOVING WEST.
A SLIGHTLY SOUTH OR SLIGHTLY NORTH BUT BUT WEST WEST DIRECTION. WHICH I AGAIN GIVES US MORE.
INFORMATION TO CONTINUE OR OR BUFFER AREAS AND COLLECTING SAMPLES IN THAT DIRECTION TO SAFEGUARD FIRST DISEASE SPREAD IN THAT AREA. ONE THING WE'RE LOOKING FOR THIS.
COMING WINTER WHEN WE HAVE ONE MORE YEAR.
OF CATCHING ANIMALS IS TO TRY TO FILL IN A GAP IN THAT HOUSTON COUNTY AREA TO SEE US. IF DEER.
ALONG THE IN THAT AREA ARE ACTUALLY EXCHANGING WITH WISCONSIN OR NOT AND CAN WE TAKE UP SOME OF THESE MOVEMENTS THAT MIGHT.
INDICATE DISEASE ACROSS THE ACROSS THE BORDER ACROSS THE RIVER IN PARTICULAR.
OR DIRECTIONS CLOSER TO IOWA HAS THEIR LARGEST INFECTION.
WHICH IS AN ELEMENT KEY TONY.
IF THERE'S A ANY MORE INTEREST IN THIS PROJECT WE DO HAVE A LOT ONLINE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THE STUDY AND AGAIN I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE ANY REPORTS TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEES. OF WHERE WE'RE AT CURRENTLY WITH THIS PROJECT.
WITH THAT I JUST WANTED TO SAY IN SUMMARY THAT CBD REMAINS A RARE DISEASE IN MINNESOTA WHICH IS STILL A GOOD THING.
WE DO HAVE IT IN CERTAIN AREAS; BUT WE HAVE A VERY LOW LEVELS AND WE'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO TRY TO. CONTINUE TO HAVE IT.
BE LESS PRESIDENT OR AT LEAST LESS RISK IN OTHER PARTS OF OUR STATE.
WE HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH THAT'S MAINTAINED; HERE'S WHO ARE HUNTING SEASON.
EVEN THOUGH OUR SAMPLING BECAME VOLUNTARY. WE HAVE CHANGED NOTHING IN OUR AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO MANAGING THE DISEASE. WITH THE NUMBER OF.
AVAILABLE LICENSES AND TAGS.
SORRY NO HARVEST STRATEGIES WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH CALLING THIS COMING WINTER.
SO ALL OF THOSE TOOLS ARE STILL IN PLACE AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN TRYING TO MANAGE THIS DISEASE.
WE WILL ADAPT AS WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE INEFFECTIVE IN OUR WORK.
AND THAT WE CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE HELP OF OUR HUNTERS AND COOPERATORS AND BUSINESSES AND LANDOWNERS IN THIS EFFORT CONSENT WE ALL HAVE TO BE IN THIS TOGETHER. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DO THE BEST WE CAN FOR THIS RESOURCE.
WITH THAT I WILL NOT TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MIGHT HAVE. OR MIGHT CALL PRISONERS.
>> A.
>> PERCENT OF THE QUESTION EARLIER ON.
REGION ENGAGE WITH THE EASY.
>> YES; MISTER CHAIR; I I BELIEVE WHAT REFERENCE THERE WAS THE FACT WE HAVE CONDUCTED BOSS LANDOWNERS AND HUNTERS SURVEYS AND SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA WHERE WE HAVE THE DISEASE. AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS THAT WE'RE ANYWHERE IN STATE.
AND IN THOSE THE HUNTING PUBLIC THAT HAD REGISTERED EAR IN THOSE AREAS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
SO I BELIEVE DOCTOR WOLF WAS REFERENCING THAT SOUTHEAST ASIAN HUNTERS WERE ALREADY A PART OF THAT OUTREACH FOR THE COUNTRY SURVEY.
AND THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND IS AVAILABLE IN A REPORT THAT I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THE COMMITTEE.
SO I WHAT SHE REFERENCED WAS THAT THE HUNTING COMMUNITY ENGAGED IN THAT SURVEY INCLUDED SOUTHEAST ASIAN HUNTERS AS WELL THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY TARGET THEY WERE JUST REPRESENTED AS PART OF THE HUNTING COMMUNITY. SERVING IT AT THAT TIME. THAT LEE.
>> THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; I WOULD JUST FOLLOW WHAT THE DNR AND THE OFFLINE THANKS.
>> A REP FOR THE ACTOR.
>> I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND FIRST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING TO DO THE OUTREACH TO THAT TAXIDERMISTS AND MEAT PROCESSORS I THINK THAT'S.
I IN A SORT OF OBVIOUS GROUP TO BE REACHING OUT TO AS FAR AS GETTING THOSE SAMPLES; BUT I THINK THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP AND CATCHING SOME OF THESE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT THE RIGHT SAMPLES; I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT WORK IS IS HAPPENING. AS FAR AS THAT OUTREACH THE PUBLIC.
ARE WE ARE YOU DOING SOME THAT OUTREACH.
LIKE LICENSED SELLERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE ZONES FOR EXAMPLE; I USUALLY BUY MY LICENSE AND YOU KNOW PICK UP MY BOOKLET THAT AT JOE'S SPORTING GOODS AND LITTLE CANADA; BUT I DON'T HUNT IN RAMSEY COUNTY I HUNT AND OTHER COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE SO IS THAT. OUTRAGE AND SIGNAGE HAPPENING AT OTHER.
LICENSED SELLERS OUTSIDE OF THE ACTUAL CWD ZONES.
>> KIRK MISTER CHAIR AND REPRESENTATIVE A CHRISTIAN.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE PUTTING UP SIGNS OR POSTERS AT THE GAME STATIONS OUTSIDE OF OUR SURVEILLANCE AREAS OR MANAGEMENT ZONES.
THAT IS NOT TO MY CURRENT UNDERSTANDING AN EFFORT THAT WE ARE DOING.
THERE IS POSTERS AND
FOR BIG GAME; A REGISTRATION STATIONS INSIDER ZONES.
THAT BEING THERE IT IS.
THIS INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE IN THE HUNTING RANKS BOOK ITSELF. SO IF A HUNTER.
OUTSIDE OF THE AREA'S FINAL LICENSE AND RECEIVED THE BOOK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.
THE CBD INFORMATION IS WELL WITHIN MEANT THAT BOOKLET.
BUT NOT POSTER AT THOSE SITES.
>> YOU CAN FOLLOW SHOULD. YEAH THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; WELL I WOULD I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO RECONSIDER THAT I MEAN WE KNOW AT THE NUMBER OF LICENSES SOLD AND RAMSEY AND HENNEPIN COUNTY THAT THOSE ARE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF LICENSES SOLD BUT OBVIOUSLY. THE VAST MAJORITY OF US DON'T COUNT IN IN RAMSEY AND HENNEPIN COUNTY THAT'S JUST WHERE WE LIVE.
AND SO I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY NOT THAT EXPENSIVE I'M SURE YOU CAN SEE YOU KNOW WHERE THE TOP.
SELLERS ARE UNSURE; IT'S YOU KNOW CABELA'S IN THE SPORTING GOODS
BUT I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO RECONSIDER THAT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THAT OUR REACH TO THOSE HUNTERS AS WELL BECAUSE I I HAVE MY BOOKLET RIGHT HERE BUT OBVIOUSLY AS WE ALL KNOW LIKE THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN VERY SMALL PRINT.
SO I THINK MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S REALLY HIGHLIGHTED IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT.
AND THEN THAT MY MY FINAL QUESTION IS WHEN YOU'RE DOING OUTREACH NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS METRO ZONE IS OUTREACH BEING DONE TO ANY OF THE CITIES THAT DO THEY'RE ALL IN. CALLING.
AS WELL SO THAT THEY KNOW
THAT THIS CHANGE IS HAPPENING AND YOU KNOW CITIES COULD MAYBE CHOOSE TO DO THEIR OWN OUTREACH TO THEIR COMMUNITIES THROUGH THROUGH THERE.
YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S THEIR THEIR PARKS BOARDS OR WHATEVER IT IS WHERE THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THEIR JURISDICTION BECAUSE THEY KNOW EVEN IN MY SUBURBAN CITIES; SEVERAL OF THEM. HAVE YOUR CALLING THAT.
BECAUSE THE POPULATION IS SO HIGH.
AND WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DEER CONGREGATING IN CERTAIN AREAS JUST WONDERING IF WHAT KIND OF OUTREACH IS HAPPENING TO YOU KNOW MUNICIPALITIES AND SMALLER LEVEL LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
>> RECORDS AND BEFORE YOU ANSWER COULD YOU TAKE SCREEN DOWN ANOTHER MAKE IT EASIER FOR. YOU COULD STOP TURNS GREEN.
IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER REPRESENT THE CURVE.
>> ASÍ A
>> BIG GAME STATIONS THAT YOU REFERENCE AND I WILL TALK WITH OUR COMMUNICATION STAFF AFTER THIS MEETING ABOUT THAT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE SOUTH METRO.
YEAH WE'VE BEEN VERY ENGAGED IN ALL OF THE AVAILABLE TYPES OF HANS THAT OCCUR TROUBLE; HUNDREDS ASSOCIATION THAT DOES QUITE A BIT OF OF SPECIFIC IN CERTAIN AREAS. THE CITY ADMINISTRATORS SO WE HAVE HAD.
LUCKILY GOOD CONTACTS; LIST FOLKS THAT ARE ARE INVOLVED IN ALL OF THESE SPECIAL HUNT SCENARIOS.
AND HAVE SIDES SET UP COLLECTIONS FOR SAMPLES THROUGHOUT ALL OF THOSE METRO HUNTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OCCURRING FROM NOW THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. SO I BELIEVE WE'RE VERY ENGAGED IN THE BILLABLE TYPES OF HARVEST THAT HAPPENED IN THE SOUTH METRO.
AND HAVE FOLKS ON BOARD TO HELP US COLLECT SAMPLES AND ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION TO THOSE HUNTERS.
>> I'M >> GOOD THANKS MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU DOCTOR CARSON SAID THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL.
>> I WANT TO MAKE CENTER IN RESIDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY IF HE HAS ANY QUESTIONS. AS CO CHAIR.
>> ABILITY TO RAISE A BLUE AND HAS NOT BEEN THERE FOR HIM SO KNOW WHAT IS THE VERY CORE OF A GOOD SO MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
>> BACKER SINCE KNOW WE'VE
I HEARD CONCERN FROM LANDOWNERS ABOUT THE COLLARS ON THE VIEW HERE LOOK IF YOU'RE STUDYING.
RUNNING ON THE NECKS OF THE YEAR YOU MAY BE.
ADDRESS THE CHANGES ARE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE. YOUR MOVEMENT STUDY.
>> YET WE HAVE BEGAN THE CAPTURING ANIMALS IN 20 17 AND IN THAT FIRST YEAR.
WE HAD 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CALLERS THAT WE USE ONE WAS A COLLAR MADE FOR ADULT MALES BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE MOVEMENT DYNAMICS.
OF ADULT ANIMALS ADULT MALES ON THE LANDSCAPE FOR HOW MUCH THE MOVE DURING THE RIGHT.
AND SO WE HAD CHOSEN A
THAT HAD AN EXPANDABLE ON CONTRACT MET MAGNETIC COMPONENT TO THE COLLAR THAT ALLOWED FOR THE RIGHT BASICALLY EXPENSE LINE FROM THE RIGHT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD EXTENDABLE JUVENILE COLLARS.
COMO WE DISCOVERED THAT NEXT HUNTING SEASON IS THAT SOME OF THOSE ADULT MALES THAT HAVE THAT EXPENDABLE CALLER HAD NECK IRRITATION. THEY WERE HARVESTED BY HUNTERS AND HAD SOME SIGNS OF.
IRRITATION IN THE NECK.
AND SO WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THAT ISSUE AND DISCONTINUED USING THOSE SCHOLARS EVER SINCE. THEY WERE.
COLLARS USED IN OTHER STUDIES ON A MALE ELK AND MULE DEER WITHOUT ISSUES SO.
UNFORTUNATELY; WE DID SEE SOME SIGNS OF IN NEXT. FROM THAT COLD HEART.
SO AGAIN WE DISCONTINUED THAT COLOR TYPE TOTALLY.
AND TO EVEN FURTHER SAFEGUARD THE JUVENILE COLLARS THAT WE WERE STILL DEPLOYING.
WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL REMOTE RELEASED DEVICE TO EVERY COLOR.
THAT ENABLED US TO REMOTELY REALLY SAID IF WE HAD ANY INDICATION REPORTS OF ANY CERTAIN ACCURATE HAITIANS GOING FORWARD.
WE COULD IDENTIFY THAT ANIMAL AND THE OTHER WITH A FLIGHT OVER THE ANIMAL OR CLOSE ENOUGH FROM THE GROUND. SEND A SIGNAL TO DROP THE COLLAR. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY.
ISSUES AND SHOOTING THAT I'M AWARE OF IN THE LAST 2 YEARS OF DEPLOYMENT.

BETWEEN WISCONSIN IOWA AND THE WE SPEAK OFTEN.
WISCONSIN HAS A VERY COLLARING PROJECT GOING ON AS WELL HAVE FOR A FEW YEARS.
BUT THEIR FOCUS ON COLLARING AND THEIR HIGHEST.
CBD AREAS DANE SHOCK COUNTIES; IOWA COUNTIES.
WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SOME LIVE ANIMAL TESTS.
AT CAPTURING FOLLOW CONFIRMED POSITIVE THROUGH THEIR FATE.
WAS SUPER INTERESTING PROJECTS THERE BUT WE'RE SHARING DATA AMONG THAT'S THOSE STUDIES ABOUT GENERAL DEAR MOMENTS.

AND BEFORE I REPRESENT THE UNITED TO SEE YOU SAW A ROLL CALL ON U.S..
>> MISTER CHAIR; THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION YEAH SO WE'VE HAD SOME SPECIFIC NEWS RELEASE INFORMATION; I'M SO FOCUSED ON THE EXPANDED FEEDING BAN. IN THE COUPLE MONTHS. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE INCREASED AS WELL.
WE HAVE NOT DONE A SURVEY FLIGHT IN THIS AREA LIKE WE HAD WITH THE PINE COUNTY AND DOUGLAS COUNTY FARM SITUATIONS. WE FLEW THOSE AREAS LOOKING FOR DEER.
DENSITIES BUT IT ALSO LOOKED FOR FEEDING SITES SO WE COULD.
HAVE SOME PLACES FOR OUR CONSTERNATION OFFICERS TO FOCUS ON EDUCATIONAL MOMENT ABOUT WHAT'S CHANGED WITH OUR SHOOTING BAN.
THIS DISCOVERY OF THIS TEAR IN THE METRO LATE ENOUGH IN THE SPRING; SNOW IS GONE.
AND ANY AVENUE TOWARD TO LEARNING ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE BEHAVIORS. AND WINNER WAS WAS GONE.
SO NOW IT'S BASICALLY I'M JUST DIRECT OUTREACH TO OUR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS. THE PRESSURE LEASES AND SUCH TO GET THE WORD OUT.
THAT THEY ARE NOW IN A IN A RECREATIONAL FEEDING BAN AREA.
>> THANK >> GOODNESS. THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR; I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER. THE MEETING IS GOING TO GO ON IT YOU HAVE MORE.
TESTIFIERS BUT WE WERE TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DEER MOVEMENT.
AND I'M SURE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF.
THE SITUATION IN KITTSON COUNTY WITH STEVE PORTER AND HIS RIGHT TAIL DEER. HE HAS UNDERSERVED FARM.
THE BAND DNR PLACED ON.
MOVING DEAR ALAS YEAH; NEW ARIE.
HE GOT CAUGHT IN A SITUATION WHERE.
HE WAS NOT PERMITTED TO.
THE MOVE IS DEAR TO THE TO SAINT PAUL FOR
THE SPORTSMAN SHOW THAT WAS THERE.
WHEN HE SHOWED UP THERE OBVIOUSLY YOU GOT TICKETED.
AND THERE WAS SOME OF US WHO FELT LIKE THE DNR.
WAS OVERSTEPPING THEIR JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY.
ON THAT OUTSIDE THE FENCE THAT SHOULD BE EXCUSE ME.
INSIDE THE FENCE THAT SHOULD BE THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH; BUT THEY CAME UP WITH THEIR RULE AND IN THE 30 DAY BAN. MISTER PORTER DECIDED TO CHALLENGE.
CITATION A LAWSUIT AND TAILED.
WHERE THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WAS. YOU KNOW.
GOING AFTER HIM. THE RAMSEY COUNTY COURT.
ATTORNEY.
DISMISSED THOSE CHARGES.
IN THE IN QUOTES THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE SO. I DON'T KNOW ALL.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN GOING FORWARD; BUT THE AGENCIES NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY STAY WITH
THE JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN A FEW OR ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS ON THAT LEFT. I'D BE INTERESTED IN HEARING.
SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
>> MISTER CHAIR
>> COMMISSIONER MEYER YEAH I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT REALLY QUICKLY THAT WAS A SITUATION WHERE WE NEEDED TO ACT REALLY QUICKLY.
THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH NET ALMOST OF MOVEMENT MORATORIUM TO ALLOW US TO GET THIS TRACE WORKED ON THAT IDENTIFIED THE DEER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY AND OTHER PLACES.
BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO IS SO COMMISSIONER STRONGMEN.
DID WHAT SHE FELT THE DEPARTMENT NEEDED TO DO TO PROTECT THE WILD DEER HERD AT THAT POINT IN TIME TO ACT SWIFTLY. TO IMMEDIATELY PUT IN A MOVEMENT BAN.
FOR THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH TO COMPLETE THE WORK.
OF THIS TRACE OUT OF THAT PLAN COUNTY HEARD.
WHICH AS WE SAW IT LEAD TO ANOTHER.
COUPLE OTHER AREAS WITH SOME WITH SOME POPULATED EVER SOME FARMS THAT WERE TESTED POSITIVE.
WITHOUT THAT BAN.
WHO KNOWS WHERE THOSE DEER FROM THAT PLANE COUNTY FACILITY COULD HAVE GONE AND WHAT ADDITIONAL IMPACTS WOULD HAVE BEEN WELL I UNDERSTAND REPRESENTATIVES. FABIAN'S CONCERNS AND TOTALLY AGREE WITH THEM.
WE DID EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO DO TO PROTECT THE WILD DEER HERD. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOPEFULLY SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CLARIFIED.
IN THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HOUSE CURRENT RULEMAKING PACKAGE THAT DOCTOR CARSON SINCE IT SIGNED AND WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO TRY TO INCLUDE.
SOME OF THIS ALREADY FOR THE BOARD TO DEAL WITH THESE TEXAS SITUATIONS AT HAND BUT.
WE DID NOT TAKE THIS MATTER LIGHTLY.
WE LOOKED AT IT JUDICIOUSLY.
AND WE DECIDED THAT OUR ACTIONS WERE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF PROTECTING THE WILD DEER HERD.
IT WAS FOR 30 DAYS.
WE'VE GOT WAS THAT IT ALLOWED US TIME TO TO TO DETERMINE AND LEARN WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
AND IT GOT US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY SO WELL IT WAS AN EASY DECISION TO MAKE.
IT WAS ONE THAT WE DID PROVIDE.
A LOT OF PROTECTION TO THE WILD DEER POPULATION AND WE WERE IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH AS WE WERE WE WERE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS AS WELL SO. I'M THINKING. THEY DID.
>> THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; I
I DO AGREE THAT WE NEED TO PROTECT WILD HEARD THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT BUT IN THIS CASE HERE.
THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD WITH DR.
I'M TRYING TO HELP MISTER PORTER FIND A SOLUTION THAT WORKS FOR HIM WITH SOME SORT OF A VARIANCE OR WHATEVER.
WAS REJECTED BY DNR AND IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT HE DOES I MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW ALL.
HOW MANY DEER THERE ARE IN DOWNTOWN SAINT PAUL BUT YOU KNOW HIS GEAR GO FROM HIS PEN INTO A TRAILER.
THEY TRAVEL TO SAINT PAUL THAN EVER COME OUT OF THE TRAILER.
AND THEY GO BACK TO HIS FARM SO.
AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF OF OF COMMISSIONER MEYER I DO ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER MEYER I'VE TALKED TO HIM MANY TIMES AND HE AND I HAVE A VERY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP. I JUST THINK THAT IN THIS CASE HERE.
I APPRECIATE THE BUT I ALSO THINK THAT.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE RULE ALSO WE HAVE STATUTES IN PLACE AND.
WE JUST NEED TO BE COGNIZANT OF THAT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING HONEST A PRE SLOPE JUST BECAUSE WE THINK THAT.
THIS IS IN THE BEST INTEREST WHAT WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY THAT WE CAN DO.
I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH PEOPLE GOING FORWARD TO FIND BETTER SOLUTIONS TO THESE THINGS.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT I'M I'VE
THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH AND DNR TO WORK TOGETHER ON THESE THINGS BACK IN 17 MAKING RUN. I WAS DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW. MISTER CHAIR.
AND I THOUGHT WE DID MAKE SOME PROGRESS THEN I WANT TO SEE THAT CONGRESS CONTINUE. BUT CAN'T.
IT CAN'T COME UP THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND SO FORTH SO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE.
COMMISSIONER MEYER.
>> THIS REALLY QUICKLY. MISTER CHAIRMAN REPRESENTATIVE FABIAN.
I UNDERSTAND I APPRECIATE THOSE
YOU KNOW WE WERE ALSO SUED BY THE DEER IS AND THEY WITHDREW THAT SUIT.
AFTER WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT WAS TRANSPIRING SO.
WELL MISTER PORTER WAS WAS UNFORTUNATELY CAUGHT UP IN THE. THE ACTION.
WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE AND A VARIANCE FOR HIM JUST UNDER OUR EMERGENCY RULE ACTUALLY.
IF WE WOULD HAVE TRIED TO DO THAT BY THE TIME THAT THE ACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WHAT NEEDED TO DO NEXT DAY TO DROOL ON THAT AS WELL.
IS SITUATION WOULD HAVE WOULD HAVE THE SHOWS WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER SO.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE WERE KIDS IN THE COURT SYSTEM AND WITHIN WHAT WE FEEL ARE STATUTORY POWERS.
TO TO PROTECT THE WILD BEARD AND AS I SAID HOPEFULLY THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED.
IN THIS UPCOMING UPDATED RULES PACKAGE WITH THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S TAKING PLACE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
>> AS THE SENATOR JOHNSON AND HIS AND SENATOR JOHNSON AND THEN WE'LL.
PROVIDE FOR A FOLLOW-UP OF YEMEN.
MY MOVE TO ONE OF THEM.
>> JUST THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT MISTER CHAIRMAN AND JUST TO YOUR POINT THERE AND THE DIRECTOR MEIR. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT.
SAID THAT EMERGENCY POWER THAT YOU BROUGHT.
SENATORS DICTION THAT YOU BROUGHT UP THE EMERGENCY POWER UNDER.
WAS ALSO QUESTION AS WELL SO WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE YOU'RE FORCING THAT EMERGENCY POWER ORDER. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A COURT CASE THAT.
THE PROSECUTOR DIDN'T MEAN EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO BRING THIS TO COURT.
BECAUSE RIGHT ON THE SHOW YOU SOME OF IT THAT.
THAT EMERGENCY POWER THAT THE DNR TALK.
WAS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF ITS ABILITIES SAW.
YOU KNOW WE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REPRESENTED CHAPIN HAS BEEN VERY STRONG ABOUT. IS MAKING SURE THAT.
OUR AGENCIES ARE WITH AND THEIR JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HERE IS ARE WE JUST DOING THINGS AS AGENCIES IS BECAUSE GOVERNMENT. BUREAUCRACIES.
OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S VERY SCARY AND YET.
WE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN PROTECT WILDLIFE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO DO THAT.
AND WE UNDERSTAND THE REST ARE ALL; BUT THAT DOESN'T.
GIVE YOU CARTE BLANCHE TO DO.
YOU KNOW THINGS OUTSIDE OF OF WHAT THE STATUTES ARE SAW.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT.
>> MISTER >> CHAIR AND JUST VERY QUICKLY; SENATOR JOHNSON; THANK YOU WE DID CONSULT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR GENERAL COUNSEL AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE ON AUTHORITIES.
AFTER THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE DETERMINE THAT WE DID HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS AND MOVE FORWARD.
AS I THE DEER HUNTERS DID.
FILE A SUIT AGAINST ESSENDON THEY LATER WITHDREW IT.
SO YOU KNOW THAT WAS NEVER DETERMINED BY A COURT OF LAW BUT CERTAINLY WITH ON OUR TRUE VIEW. OF OUR AUTHORITIES.
AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WE DETERMINE AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO SIGN OFF ON THE RULE TO GET IT DONE SO WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THAT WE DID HAVE THE AUTHORITY.
SENATOR I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN THAT WE MAY HAVE GONE OUTSIDE; BUT.
WE FEEL THAT WE WERE WITHIN OUR AUTHORITY.
AND AGAIN IT'S JUST IT'S.
IT'S THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HOW DO YOU PROTECT THE WILD HERD RIGHT SO.
IN THIS CASE; THIS DISEASES.
VERY CONCERNING TO US AND WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN POSSIBLE.

WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING WITH DOCTOR SCOT WELL FROM THE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE.
USING ARCHIE QUICKEN THE IN USING THE FOLKS IN DOCTOR
DOCTOR WELLS PROPOSAL THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE FUNDED IS IT GREW OUT OF A BOARD FUNDED PROJECT THAT HAS HAS GONE ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW LOOKING AT BIOSECURITY ON GERMAN FARMS. WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING AVAILABLE FROM U.S. D A.
THE BOARD WILL BE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY WORKING WITH DOCTOR WELL AND AGAIN UTILIZING THE RT QUICK.

THE BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH IS GOING TO BE THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THAT PROJECT.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO FUND THIS BIOSECURITY PROJECT WHICH WILL BOLSTER THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE BY DOCTOR LARSON LAP SO HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR CONCERN FACTOR QUINN THANK YOU.
>> I'M >> GOOD MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU. NOT ONLY IS IT.
>> THANK YOU MISTER FOR THIS JUST A THE LAST TIME THAT YOU WERE ON YOU VISITED WITH US.
YOU TOLD US THAT CURRENT RULES SAY THAT WELL FOR MISSPENT SHUT DOWN. AFTER.
WE FOUND THE EFFECT DEER IS SENSED OFF FOR 5 YEARS.
YOU HAVE SCIENCE TELLS US THAT FRANCE LAST MORE THAN 5 YEARS.
SO MY QUESTION IS WILL YOU REVEAL CENT.
THIS PART OF YOUR RULE.
THAT IS NOT. BASED ON CURRENT SCIENCE.
JOHNSON.
>> THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR REPRESENTATIVE WAGENIUS SO WE WILL CERTAINLY.
REVISIT TO BAT IF IT IS IN OUR RULE AND I'M STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW TO THINK THAT IS IN OUR RULER IN OUR DAD SHOOT. AS YOU KNOW THIS.
THE RULE HAS TO FALL WITHIN THE AUTHORITY OF THE STATUE WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO. BASED ON SCIENCE.
MAKE A CHANGE TO THE RULE WITHIN OUR AUTHORITY FROM THE STATUTE.
WE WILL DO THAT AND WE HOPE WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE TABLE.
TO MOVE THE DISCUSSION FORWARD THANK YOU.
>> THERE ARE STATUTES THERE ARE RULES BUT THERE'S ALSO THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HUNT AND FISH. AND THE CONSTITUTION.
SHOULD BE OR GUIDELINE I MEAN WE ARE PROTECTED. PROTECTING.
THE RIGHT TO HUNT.
SO THIS IS A RULE THAT ABSOLUTELY MUST BE BASED ON SCIENCE.
NOT BASED ON WHAT INTEREST GROUPS LET STAKEHOLDERS KIND OF AGREE ON IT NEEDS TO BE BASED ON SCIENCE.
>> THANK >> YOU YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THE.
AS WITH SOME OF THE OTHER
INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED WE WILL BE POSTING IT AFTER THE MEETING ON THE. AND THE COMMITTEE WEB SITE.
AND WITH WILL GO TO.
>> CENTER COREY IS.
>> MY NAME IS COREY ANDERSON ON A RESEARCH ASSISTANT SIGGRAPH FOR THE CENTER FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH AND POLICY.
THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA FROM THE SHARE SCREEN HERE HOPEFULLY CAN SEE IT'S.
I'M ACTUALLY STANDING IN FOR SERVING TODAY APOLOGIZE THAT HE CAN TO MAKE IT IS ACTUALLY SHARING NOT.
W H O COMMITTEE CALLS FOR COVID IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH AT THIS POINT.
AND SO THIS WILL BE RELATIVELY SHORT OF THIS UPDATE YOU ON SOME OF OUR ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SO FIRST AND FOREMOST I JUST WANT TO POINT OUR CITY RESOURCE CENTER THIS ACTUALLY LAUNCHED IN AUGUST OF 2019.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CIGARETTES ON WHAT CIGARETTE REALLY DOES IT'S.
IT REALLY TO RACE SCIENCE-BASED INFORMATION ON A NUMBER OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE TOPIC SO.
FOR EXAMPLE WE DO HAVE A RESOURCE CENTER ON COVID-19 AND RESOURCES RELATED TO A NUMBER BILLS STEWARDSHIP.
AND OF DOCTORS FROM SAW CBD IS KIND OF EMERGING ISSUE AND SO WE WENT AHEAD AND EAT COMPILED INFORMATION LAUNCH THIS A YEAR AGO.
THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT OUR EFFORTS IS THAT THEY ARE GUIDED BY SOME OF THE LEADING EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF CWD SO IF YOU CAN WE HAVE 57 TAX ADVISORS. HERE'S MORE INFORMATION ON THEM.
AND SO THEY REPRESENT IN FIELDS RELATED TO PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE SCIENCE WILDLIFE AND AGRICULTURE.
6 COUNTRIES ARE REPRESENTED WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROFESSIONAL DEGREES AND THEN WE
DID MANAGE TO HAVE EXPERTS ON BSE OR BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY OR MAD COW DISEASE ON AND SIR ROY ANDERSON CHANG COLLEGE BOTH LOCATED IN THE UK.
AND SO THEY'RE REALLY GETTING OUR CONTENT THEY'RE BETTING ARE CONTENT TO MAKE SURE THAT SCIENCE-BASED CENTER AND WE SEE THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
VISITORS WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING THE BEST INFORMATION POSSIBLE.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S IT'S DIFFICULT TO HOLD MEETINGS WITH 57 PEOPLE SO WE REALLY TRIED TO NARROW THIS GROUP DOWN ON SO WE CAN HAVE MORE FOCUS MEETINGS ON A REGULAR BASIS SO IN JANUARY WE FORMED AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MADE UP OF 14 MEMBERS. WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM CDC; DIFFERENT RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS LIKE MANAGERS ETC. AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THEIRS WERE BASICALLY HAVING QUARTERLY A ZOOM MEETINGS WHERE WE REALLY TALKING DEATH FOR AN HOUR ABOUT.
WHAT ACTIVITIES THEY SEE AS PRESSING HOW WHAT WE CAN HELP OUT WITH.
AND IT'S REALLY HELPED US ALL JUST GOING TO COVER DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THESE MEETINGS AND EFFORTS THAT WERE.
WE'RE BASICALLY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW OR WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON YOUR FUTURE.
SO FIRST AND FOREMOST OUR FIRST MEETING WAS RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING OF OF COVID.
AND ONE OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO WORKS AT A UNIVERSITY.
AND THEY ACTUALLY KICKED OFF WEBINAR SERIES WITH COVID-19 ON AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE KIND OF AN
WE CAN GET INVOLVED WITH US WITH CWD IN SO.
WERE ACTUALLY UNDERTAKING THAT EFFORT RIGHT IT'S IT'S A LIVE WEBINAR EVENT SO PEOPLE CAN NOW REGISTER AND ATTEND THAT IT'S 45 MINUTE PRESENTATION DIRECTLY FROM THE EXPERTS AND LEADERS. I MEAN THERE'S A 15 MINUTE HUMAN AT THE END WHERE PEOPLE CAN ASK QUESTIONS.
IF YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF THEM THEY ARE ARCHIVED AND AVAILABLE ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WE'VE HAD 2 SO FAR. ONE WITH THAT YOU CAN SEE AND SEE.
WE NEED PRINCE AND ANOTHER JUST RECENTLY TO CUT DOWN AND HE MENTIONS OF CWD WE FOUND A VERY HELPFUL A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ATTENDED A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE VIEWED AS VERY INTERACTIVE.
AND WITH THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ANNOUNCING HER WEBINAR SO JUST KIND OF FLOODING THAT HERE THAT'S BECAUSE ODELL WAS HONORED SECOND IF COMMITTEE ON EXPERT ADVISORY GROUP AND HE'S CURRENTLY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE NATIONAL AIRLINES AND QUALITY DEER MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION; WHICH ACTUALLY JUST RECENTLY MERGED INTO ONE GROUP.
AND SO HE'LL BE GIVING A PRESENTATION ON SEPTEMBER 24TH ON TUESDAY KILLING ONE HUNTERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CWD HAS HUNTING SEASONS KICKOFF. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED I PUT THE WEBSITE DOWN THERE OTHERWISE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO WRITE IT DOWN AND TRYING TO GET A QUICK SECOND FINISH YEAR. I FEEL FREE TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME AND I NEED THAT INFORMATION. ANOTHER ACTIVITY THAT.
ACTIVITY THAT WE FOUND I WOULD BE HELPFUL BE SUMMER EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CW WHITE PAPERS.
AND WHAT THESE ARE REALLY BE IS A SCHOOL IN FOUR-MILE WORKING COMING ON TOPICS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS HIGH PRIORITY.
AND WE WOULD WRITE BASICALLY COMPREHENSIVE SCIENCE-BASED REPORTS ON WHAT WE KNOW AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE TOPICS.
AND THEY CAN BE USED AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR WILDLIFE AGENCIES FOR A POLICY MAKERS FOR RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS CETERA.
HOW AND SO COMMITTED TO A MAIN PRIORITY TOPICS THAT WE IDENTIFIED IN THAT FIRST EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING I WAS ONE VERY FAMILIAR TO A LOT OF YOU IN THIS MEETING TODAY UP FIRST THE SAFETY OF USING CERTIFIED LANDFILLS TO DISPOSE OF CWD INFECTED CARCASSES. I MEAN PEOPLE ARE ALSO PEOPLE ALSO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO US.
THIS IS A WAY OUT WHAT WE KNOW AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT CBD TESTS AND THOSE ARE THE EXISTING.
VALIDATED TESTS SUCH AS I SEE IN THE WISER.
AND SO COMPASS A SPECIAL ISSUE ACTUALLY FORMED A MANAGEMENT WORKING HERE BACK IN FEBRUARY.
WITH COVID THINGS COMING UP PUSHED BACK FURTHER THAN HE WANTED THAT TOO.
BUT IT'S MADE UP OF OF EXPERT IN LANDFILL; ENGINEERING AND BIOLOGY HUMAN HEALTH WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE LEADING EXPERTS IN THIS AREA WHEN IT COMES TO THE RESEARCH. I HEARD PRESENTATIONS FROM CDC.
WE REALLY THINK YOU WOULD BE FUN AS A LIVING DOCUMENT; SO IT COULD BE CHANGED AS THE SCIENCE BUT IT WILL REALLY BE USEFUL TO.
YOU KNOW LANDFILL OPERATORS POLICYMAKERS AGENCY CETERA.
SO THAT WILL COMING HOPEFULLY SEE.
OF THE LAST JUST HIGHLIGHTING NOT.
ANOTHER ACTIVITY THAT WE REGULARLY INVOLVED WITH THAT WE DO PUBLISH MONTHLY CWD NEWSLETTERS WE ACTUALLY FIRST STARTED THAT NOVEMBER OF 2019.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM THEY JUST EACH YEAR; THE LATEST ACTIVITIES THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THAT KEEP PEOPLE UP TO DATE.
WE ALSO SUMMARIZE AND PROVIDE LINKS TO KNOW WHERE THE NEW STORIES FROM BASICALLY THE WORLD WE DO A FEATURE OF NORWAY INDICATION; BUT MOSTLY NORTH AMERICA. AND THEN WE RECENT. EUROPEAN PEOPLE.
WANT THEY CAN SIGN UP FOR FREEZE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE MOUND AGAIN THAT'S AT THE BEGINNING IT'S.
EVERY MONTH AT THE END OF EVERY MONTH SIR.
WITH THAT JUST IN OBVIOUSLY NOW THAT CITY REMAINS A CRITICAL WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AGAIN I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WITH OUR GROUP WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO COMBINE EXPERTS TO GET THE EXPERT AND PUT OUT THE BEST INFORMATION THAT WE CAN.
I KNOW LIKE WITH A LOT OF THINGS GETTING SCIENCE BASE REPUTABLE INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS POSSIBLE.
I THINK IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THE PRESENTATION FROM DOCTOR LARSON AND HIS GROUP THAT.
THROUGH OUR COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITY MINNESOTA JUST IN THE SHORT TIME WITHIN THE PAST YEAR TO HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF A LEADER IN SEEN ANY RESEARCH AND POLICY AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS TAKES US.
SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN OVER THE QUESTIONS OF STEP SURE THAT HAPPY TO ANSWER.
ANY QUESTIONS PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THANK YOU.
>> THE SAME QUESTION REPRESENTATIVE EKLUND ASKED ABOUT THE MURDERS AND HAS THE BOARD OF ANIMAL REACHED OUT TO US AND WRAP TO.
INCORPORATE ANY OF THE OR.
THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS HE KNEW OF SOMEONE.
>> MISTER CHAIR; THANK YOU FOR THE THEY'RE NOT REACHED OUT THAT I'M AWARE OF THIS.
I'M NOT SURE I CAN SPEAK FOR MY KIND OF HIS INBOX IS CRAZY SO YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT BUT NOT ANYMORE.
>> HUNTSMAN THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION RELATIVE TO.
CDC IS LOOKING AT THEIR RESEARCH THAT WE'VE JUST HEARD ABOUT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT SAYS HE MIGHT GO OFF FOR THEM. GRANDERSON.
>> MISTER CHAIR CDC.
HAS PROACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE GROUP ACTUALLY CASE WESTERN SO IS THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR PRE EMBASSIES OF COLLEGE AND SNOWFALL.
BUT THEY ARE QUITE A FEW THINGS RELATED TO CW THESE IN WISCONSIN.
FOR EXAMPLE THERE ARE ACTUALLY A IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD AN ANIMAL TEST POSITIVE.
THEY WERE INFORMED BY THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOLLOWS UP WITH THEM BASICALLY ASKED WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS
AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONSUME THE ANIMAL EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF POSITIVE TESTS.
SO SEE SHE IS MAINTAINING THAT LIST IT'S AN ACTIVE DISEASE SURVEILLANCE LIST.
THERE'S FOLLOW UP WITH SUSPICIOUS PRE AND TO SEIZE A HUMAN CASE OF HUMAN PRION DISEASE WHERE THEY DO AUTOPSIES AT CASE WESTERN RESERVE.
AND THAT IS SUSPICIOUS THEY DO A FOLLOW-UP INTERVIEWS; ET CETERA AND SO THEY ARE TAKING AN ACTIVE AND MAKING SURE THAT'S.
CASE OF HUMAN BRAIN DISEASE DON'T HAVE ANY DIRECT CORRELATION WITH CWD. IF THEY.
THEY DID THEY WOULD IDEALLY PICK THAT UP AND SO THAT YOU CAN SUBMIT SURVEILLANCE PIECE IS A VERY IMPORTANT.
>> I CAN THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; I MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN CLEAR IN MY QUESTION WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO AN ASKING SPECIFICALLY WAS AS CDC BEEN LOOKING AT THIS NEW TEST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.
WHAT OPINIONS IF ANY THAT HAVE BEEN FORMED AND IT'S.
DEVELOPMENTS AND THAT'S THE LADY.
>> MISTER >> CHAIR REPRESENTATIVE SORRY FOR MISINTERPRETING THE QUESTIONS SO I KNOW THAT ARCTIC AS PETER DOCTOR LARSON HAS IS A RELATIVELY NEW TESTS AND THAT GROUP AT CASE WESTERN RESERVE.
DOES USE IT ON SAMPLES OF A CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID FOR EXAMPLE.
AND SO IT IS A TEST THAT'S BEING
THE POTENTIALLY DIAGNOSE A HUMAN PRION DISEASES.
I'VE NOT HEARD A FORMAL STATEMENT BY CDC AS TO WHETHER IT'S.
IN REGULAR USE CENTER AND I'M NOT DOCTOR LARSON TO SPEAK TO.
WHETHER THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO HIM YOU CAN SPEAK FURTHER ON THAT THANK YOU.
>> I COULD JUST FOLLOW HIM REAL TRANS MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE TEST RT IT'S PROBABLY AROUND 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD NOW.
AVAILABLE THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY LOOKING AT PRIX ON MISS FOLDING.
RT QUICK THIS TEST IS BEING USED.
FOR RESEARCH IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE; PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
AND ALL THE PRE ON DISEASES SO CHRIS LEE AKA DISEASE BSE SCRAPE THE AND SEE THE BEAUTY. SO THAT THAT.
THE THE TEST ITSELF RT QUICKS BEEN AROUND FOR A FEW YEARS IN THE RESEARCH AROUND. AND ONLY NOW.
AFTER MORE LABS; INCLUDING AROUND OF ADOPTED IT.
IS IT GETTING TO BE FORMALLY VALIDATED BY.
USDA AND I IMAGINE AT SOME POINT.
CDC WILL BE INVOLVED IN IT AND IN A FORM OF ALLEGATION. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IS THAT.
IT'S IT'S IT'S THUS FAR BEEN USEFUL FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND JUST NOW IS GETTING INTO THE VALIDATION FOR OTHER FOR OFFICIAL. DIAGNOSTICS. MY SON.
>> THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR SAW EITHER TESTIFIER COULD RESPOND.
I'M VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO DETERMINE WHETHER. THE RT QUICK. PROCESS.
IS ACCURATE AND RELIABLE AND USABLE.
IN REAL WORLD CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE YOUR'S AWAY FROM THAT YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME AND WHAT DOES THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE BEFORE WE KNOW IT'S. ALTHOUGH WE HOPE IT IS. >> MISTER ANDERSON AND OCULAR SON.
>> I'M HAPPY TO TALK TO SPEAK TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE BODY OF LITERATURE SO THERE ARE STUDIES BEING CONDUCTED NOW ON CBD AND USING ARE TOO QUICK IN CITY FOR CWD SURVEILLANCE. THEIR STORIES ARE PUBLISHED.
WHERE THEY HAVE COMPARED THE METHOD TO.
ELIZAH AND I'VE SEEN THE OTHER THE TESTS THAT THE DNR AND THE BOARD ON HOW TO CURRENTLY USING. THOSE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN ROUTINELY.
NOW ARE TOO QUICK IS MORE SENSITIVE.
IT'S MORE ACCURATE. IT'S ABLE TO PICK UP. INFECTIONS EARLIER.
OKAY; SO IT'S A VERY ROBUST TEST.
AND OUR OWN OUR OWN WORK INSIDE OF THEM IN PRO ADS IS AGREEING WITH.
THAT FOR THOSE WITH THOSE PUBLISHED STUDIES.
NOW THE USDA.
WE ARE WORKING WITH THE USDA.
TO VALIDATE THE FORMALLY VALIDATE THE TEST.
AND THAT PROCESS IS GOING ON WILL GO ON OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT WAS THE USDA FORMALLY VALIDATES THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE NEXT YEAR. HOPEFULLY. YOU WILL SEE BROAD.
ACCEPTANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION AROUND THE UNITED STATES.
AND THIS IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT UNIVERSITY; MINNESOTA THEM IN PRO LAB.
HAS THIS UP AND RUNNING NOW SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED.
FOR THAT WIDESPREAD IMPLEMENTATION HOPEFULLY HELP THE BOARD AND THE DNR. FOR SURVEILLANCE.
>> I >> KNOW MISTER CHAIR; THOSE GREAT EXPLANATION; DOCTOR CARSON.
>> THANK >> YOU MISTER CHAIR; I THINK THEY'VE ANSWERED THE QUESTION AS BEST AS THEY CAN SO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAW NO.
>> CENTER IN CONGRESS AND I APOLOGIZE THAT HE HAD HAD.
TESTED NEARLY FOR QUESTION FOR BOARD ON HEALTH; BUT HE DOES HAVE A QUESTION. MISTER ANDERSON; SEN.
>> HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE AS WELL AS THE BOARD OF ANIMAL
WELL MAYBE WE HAVE
SURVEYS OF FARMS NOW HOW MANY OF 5 YEARS AGO.
CAN YOU GIVE US THAT COMPARISON TO THAT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MISTER ENDERS.
DOCTOR TOM.
>> SORRY >> I WAS DOUBLE MUTED THERE MISTER CHAIR CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW. >> BUENO.
>> SENATOR IN THE BRATZ AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL UP THAT INFORMATION I WOULD SAY BAD 5 YEARS AGO WE WERE CLOSE TO THAT 400 MARK BUT I WILL LOOK THAT UP. AND PROVIDED TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THANK YOU.
>> AND MISTER MEYER IF YOU CAN.
DO WE HAVE A NUMBER ON THE BITTER COLD IN MINNESOTA WAS OBVIOUSLY IT'S PRETTY AND WHAT KIND OF ARTIST WE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT.
>> SHE PROBABLY HAS THE MOST UP TO DATE NUMBERS.
DOCTOR CARSON.
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
>> I MODELING ACROSS THE STATE HAS INDICATED STRONG.
HEARD A NUMBER SHUN I JUST RECENTLY WAS LISTENING TO DOCTOR KELLER WHO RUNS ARE.
YOUR PROGRAM TALK ABOUT SO I THINK OUR FOR THIS YEAR'S FIRES HARVEST HAVE BEEN SIMILAR.
SO WE HAVE THAT $200;000 200;000 DEER.
KIND OF AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS FALL FOR WE'RE COULD BE THE POTENTIAL HARVEST AND APPROXIMATELY A MILLION TO A MILLION DEAR ACROSS THE STATE.
>> QUESTION TO THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR QUESTION FOR MISTER ANDERSON. ANDERSON.
VERY INTERESTING STUDY AS CONSUMPTION OF THE CWD.
FOR THE NEW YEAR. SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY ARE DOING THAT IS ON A CONSTANT BASIS OR IS IT. SOMEBODY THAT'S A BIG DAY.
IT AFFECTED THEIR THEY'RE GOING.
IT IS NOT GOING TO MONITOR.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE.
A LITTLE MORE OF A STALL THAT'S WORKING SOME VERY INTERESTED NOT. MISTER ANDERSON.
>> MISTER CHAIR ON YES SO THAT IS AN ONGOING STUDY I BELIEVE THE LISTS LAST I CHECKED HAD OVER 1400 A PARK SUSPENSE OF PEOPLE.
THAT SAY THEY ARE WILLING TO FIGHT DO FOLLOW UP WITH CDC AND SO.
I'M NOT SURE AS FAR AS THE DETAILS GO IF THEY'RE DOING YOU KNOW SEMI ANNUAL FOLLOW-UP; BUT I KNOW THAT IF IF A PERSON ON THAT LIST WERE TO CONTRACT A PRE AND OR DIE OF A HUMAN PRION DISEASE. I'M SURE THAT WE CAN DO THIS.
OPEN UP SOME INVESTIGATION BY CDC AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE THE DETAILS AS FAR WHAT THE FOLLOW-UP CONSISTS OF BUT YES; THERE LIST OF PEOPLE FROM WISCONSIN; SPECIFICALLY OF A FAIRLY HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE YOU KNOW YOU CAN SEE THE COST OF ANIMALS BUT AND THAT'S AND THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR; THAT'S EVERY YEAR THAN THERE KNOWINGLY CONSUMING. >> POSITIVE ANIMALS AND YOU KNOW I WAS AT WORK. MISTER ANDERSON. >> MISTER SO I KNOW IT.
IT WOULD BE THEY WOULD HARVEST A THEY WOULD GET TESTED IT WOULD COME BACK POSITIVE; IT WOULD BE FOLLOWED UP WITH.
AND DNR OR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WOULD ASK WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS WITH THE ANIMAL.
WERE THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CONSUME ITS.
WHETHER THAT YOU KNOW BE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT YEAR OR SO.
I'M SURE THAT KIND OF DEPENDS BUT IT'S BASICALLY IN FOLLOW-UP TO A DETECTION.
A CASE IN THE DEER ON THE PERSON HARVESTED THAT
IT WILL ONLY CONSUMING AND SO I'M NOT SURE THE TIME SPAN WOULD BE AND I'M SURE THEY SHOT ANOTHER POSITIVE AND WILL NOT TESTED
I DON'T THINK THEY'VE RIDDEN THE LIST AND I'M SURE THEY KNOW THAT AGAIN I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOU KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT ICE. JUST.
I'VE TALKED TO SOMEONE AT CDC WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THAT THE THAT.
>> I THINK I THINK I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED MAYBE THE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS TO WHEN THAT STARTED.
AND WHAT THE RESULTS HAVE I SUPPOSE THAT'S ONGOING MAYBE THAT CAN HAPPEN.
MAYBE THE PRE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN 5; 6; YEARS AFTER I DON'T KNOW THAT; BUT IT'S VERY VERY INTERESTING SCIENCE
ALWAYS INTERESTED IN PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DO THAT.
A LOT OF THEM SAYING THAT I AM BUT WHY THEY WOULD DO THAT AND THE.
THAT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT; BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY VALUABLE. IT SEEMS TO ME.
THANK YOU GERRI AND IF I COULD JUST ADD REAL QUICK. LORD.
>> IT'S ESTIMATED AT LEAST 15;000 SEE THE POSITIVE YEAR CONSUMED IN THE U.S. ANNUALLY.
AND I'VE HEARD AS HIGH AS 20;000.
CB CARCASSES CONSUMED IN THE U.S. ANNUALLY.
AND IT'S TO DO YOU KNOW A LACK OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS WE HAVE.
BUT THE CDC IS COREY IS CORRECT AND IT'S IT'S IT'S A NATIONWIDE SURVEILLANCE.
SYSTEM THAT THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED WHERE THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS EATING.
WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSED.
AND THEN YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT DURING RAIDS IN THAT PROCESS COULD TAKE 6 YEARS 10 YEARS.
YOU KNOW; AND SO THEY GET ON THE LIST FOR FOR MONITORING THAT IS CORRECT.
AND THE FOLLOW-UP TO MISTER CHAIR.
>> UNDER THE DIRECTION OF FOLLOW-UP DOCTOR LARSON OF THOSE.
15 TO 20;000 PEOPLE OR MORE FAMILIES; WHATEVER THAT A CONSUMER WOULD YOU HAVE YOU CALLED TO HAVE. DIED FROM.
THESE KOREANS. CONSUMPTION.
MICHAEL MARTIN.
>> I'M CURIOUS IF THERE'S A COMMITTEE HERE IN BRITAIN.
TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE'S NO DOCUMENTED CASE WHERE.
SOMEONE WHO HAS CONSUMED SEE BECAUSE OF ME HAS CONTRACTED.
A PRE ON DISEASE NOW THAT SAID.
THE CDC.
OR THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE.
>> TO >> PRE ONS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.
AND AS CBD SPREADS TO NEW HERDS; NEW POPULATIONS.
THOSE SEEM TO BE PRETTY ONS CAN IF CHANGES SHAPE IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
AND THEY'RE WORRIED BECAUSE THERE MAY BE A STRAIN CBD THAT DOES MATCH. HUMAN. AND CAN.
START THE DISEASE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

FOR EXAMPLE; THE YEARS STUDIED HIM FROM THE NRA MOVEMENT.
WE CAN POST ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.
WE ARE NEARING THE END OF THE RICH AND YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY CLOSING COMMENTS.
>> I DON'T I JUST APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION I THINK EVERY TIME WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT.

AGENCIES AND THE UNIVERSITY TO WORK TOGETHER TO INCORPORATE THAT CLIENTS INTO THE DECISION-MAKING.
I'M PLEASED TO HEAR ADOPT THE DUMPSTER.
THE KINKS THAT WERE THERE LAST YEAR APPEARED TO BE WORKED OUT. WE
WHO ORDERED 50;000 DEER HUNTERS IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND I ACTUALLY THINK.
I PREDICT THAT NUMBER WILL GO UP TO US ALL.
WE HAVE SEEN THAT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE WHO'VE BEEN ANGLING.
DURING THE SUMMER WITH.
THE FISHING LICENSE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP AND I THAT WE'RE GOING TO HUNTING LICENSES GO UP. THAT IS ONE REACTION TO.
COVID-19 PEOPLE ARE AGING AND MORE OUTDOOR.
ACTIVITIES AND SO.
TRYING TO REACH NEW HUNTERS TRYING TO REACH.
UNIQUE HUNTERS WITH INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.
AS OUR EYES ON THE BALL AT THE CAPITOL WITH COVID-19 WE CANNOT IGNORE.
CWD IS CONTINUING TO SPREAD.
AND SO I THANK YOU FOR THE UNIVERSITY; MINNESOTA WORK ON THAT.
THANK YOU FOR THE AGENCIES THAT ARE DOING IT AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE MINNESOTANS.
YOU'RE ENGAGED IN THE RULEMAKING PROCESS.
