Abstract
Este artículo está dirigido al público, en particular a cazadores, propietarios de ciervos en cautiverio y dueños de tierras. Su propósito es resumir lo que se sabe actualmente sobre la enfermedad de caquexia crónica (o desgaste crónico --CWD, por sus siglas en inglés) y sus impactos, además de brindar información sobre prácticas para minimizar la propagación de la enfermedad, así como sobre el manejo seguro y las pruebas en ciervos.
