Chronic wasting disease, or CWD, is spreading in Illinois. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the disease has been detected in Putnam, Marshall, Adams, and Peoria counties, expanding the geographic presence of the disease in free-ranging deer populations in northern Illinois. CWD is an always-fatal neurological disease that affects the long-term health of white-tailed deer in Illinois. First documented in the state in 2002 near Roscoe, CWD has been detected in 25 counties across northern Illinois and now as far south as Adams County in west-central Illinois.
