[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4711843, member: 2805"] the disease is not rapidly spreading, it just looks that way due to the fact it was missed for the last several years, and once discovered, a tremendous increase in sampling in the hot zone results in an explosion of positives. 10% prevalence rate in Fayette and Hardeman... that's a LOT. the current sampling methods for the rest of the state this year were well thought-out. There may be isolated cases here and there across the state, but I strongly doubt there is a large infected herd elsewhere that missed detection. And yes, you can bet the hot zone started in TN with that many positives, then spread to MS (although MS detected it before TN). Something happened at the southern county line between Fayette and Hardeman, then spread out from there. Whether it was a high fence that imported an infected deer, or someone illegally brought an intact killed infected cervid from another state will probably never be known, but I feel certain it was one of the two.
