According to a report by Fox News Network on December 23, a case of “zombie鹿” disease has been discovered in Yellowstone National Park in the United States, which has caused concern among scientists as it may be contagious to humans.
It is reported that in November, a dead deer at Yellowstone National Park tested positive for a highly contagious prion virus, which causes weight loss, falling, and “zombie鹿” symptoms.
Experts said that no harm to humans has been observed so far, but there may be a risk of contagion in the future, and it is necessary to pay attention to it closely.
Furthermore, the virus may have a long-term impact on the鹿 population, leading to a significant decrease in their numbers.
The National Park Administration said that it is taking measures to investigate the source of the disease and prevent the spread.
