Wildlife experts warn Ohioans about a deadly disease killing deer, charter schools group sues over federal funding rule and more...
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, or EHD, is one of the most common deer diseases. It’s been in Ohio since at least 2002 but, historically, EHD has been most prevalent in the southeastern United States. As a result, deer in those states have built up herd immunity against it. That’s not the case yet in Ohio. So the state sees high mortality rates when there is an EHD outbreak.
Deer are becoming infected and dying from Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, commonly mislabeled as zombie deer disease.
