Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) — an acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease that attacks white-tailed deer — is getting the attention of DNR officers and hunters as fall sets in.
The disease is characterized by extensive hemorrhages and oral lesions and has been found in white-tailed deer in the northern, eastern and southeastern United States and southern Canada.
A similar hemorrhagic disease called bluetongue also occurs throughout the United States and Canada.
