JEFFERSON CITY -- Missouri conservation officials say two free-range deer have tested positive for chronic wasting disease.
The Department of Conservation said Tuesday the two positive test results came from 1,077 tissue samples taken from deer killed in north-central Missouri. Both positive test results were from adult bucks taken in Macon County.
The Missouri Department of Conservation will hold two open houses in northeast Missouri following the discovery of two cases of Chronic Wasting Disease in free-ranging adult bucks in Macon County.
The open houses are intended to update residents on efforts to obtain more tissues samples for testing in the area and provide information on managing land for deer.
The open houses will be held in Macon County Saturday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the New Cambria High School, 501 S. Main St., and in Linn County on Feb. 18 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Bucklin Community Center, 202 E. Fourth St.

Jason Sumners, a deer biologist with the department, said once the disease gets into a deer herd, there is little more than can be done to prevent the disease.
?It is a fatal neurological disease, and it slowly accumulates not only in the animal, but in the population,? Sumners said. ?Over a number of years, [it is] a slow drain on the population.?
Sumners says the disease ? which is not transmissible to humans or many farm animals such as cattle ? has been detected in five free ranging deer in northwest Macon County, Mo. There, the department has scheduled holding a meeting with landowners on Saturday to discuss how the disease can be best contained.
