[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5706105, member: 17"] As for Europe, exactly how it developed in free-ranging cervids is not known, but it is genetically different than North American CWD. North American CWD is very transmissible both through the environment (shed prions) as well as animal-to-animal. That is because it came from scrappie in sheep which has the same pathology. However, European CWD does not appear to be very transmissible environmentally, and is only transmissible animal-to-animal for those animals genetically susceptible, which is not all cervids there.
