The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) has confirmed cases of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in white-tailed deer across Monongalia, Marion, and Barbour counties. While EHD poses no threat to human health, it highlights the need for monitoring deer populations. Local wildlife officials emphasize the importance of community awareness and proactive reporting of unusual deer behavior to manage and mitigate wildlife diseases effectively.
