Interesting press conference involving the Unified Sportsmen of PA and elected officials a couple of days ago announcing that Dr. Frank Bastian of LSU has properly identified the true causative agent of CWD and has also found a "cure" for CWD. The portion of the video that is shown on this location has the presentation done by Dr. John Eveland (spelling is incorrect in the article) who is the biologist for the Unified Sportsmen of PA group.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, as Dr. Bastian has been working on this theory for at least 8+ years, so I'm wondering what has changed significantly. Have to read and listen more to find out what new findings have surfaced. Apparently he's still pretty much the "lone wolf" on this theory. Certainly hope he just doesn't need an infusion of funding for his research and is just stirring the pot.
All I know is if his theory doesn't pan out, sure makes Unified Sportsmen of PA group look bad for holding a big news conference like this. Of course, I hope he's on the right track, as it I have always felt that there was more to the various prion related diseases than what we knew, and that many of the degenerative neurological diseases could be somehow tied in with CWD, BSE etc. and the production of prions.
