How does chronic wasting disease (CWD) spread among deer?

  1. Through predation by wolves

  2. By consuming contaminated water or food

  3. Through direct contact with infected deer or their bodily fluids

  4. By airborne transmission

The correct answer is: Through direct contact with infected deer or their bodily fluids

CWD is a contagious neurological disease that primarily affects deer, elk, and moose. It is spread through direct contact with infected animals or their bodily fluids, such as saliva, feces, and urine. This is why deer in close proximity or living in herds are at a higher risk of contracting the disease. Option A is incorrect because wolves are not known to spread CWD. Option B is incorrect because there is no evidence that contaminated water or food can transmit the disease. Option D is incorrect because there is no evidence of airborne transmission of CWD.
