California asks public for help identifying cases of elk hoof disease
Elk hoof disease is creeping into California after two cases were confirmed in April in Roosevelt elk in Del Norte County. While treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) has been a known issue within Washington, Oregon and Idaho elk, the recent cases in California’s resident herd has sparked a new effort from wildlife biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to track the disease’s presence in the Golden State, the Del Norte Triplicate reports.
