关于慢性消耗性疾病（CWD）当前和潜在经济影响的直接信息很少。在科罗拉多，这种疾病的经济影响是多样的，复杂的，难以衡量。例如，自由放养和圈养（养殖）的鹿和麋鹿种群，以及私人和公共土地都受到CWD的影响。政府机构承担研究、监测和其他疾病管理行动的费用。州际和国际贸易限制可能导致远离CWD感染地区的经济活动转移或下降。消费者需求（例如，狩猎，肉类消费）可能会受到影响，由于有关鹿和麋鹿肉的感知风险。养殖鹿科动物的生产者（即，鹿、麋鹿）可以限制销售、限制动物移动和/或使它们的畜群被隔离或减少。最后，企业和社区可能会因狩猎和野生动物观赏减少而失去收入，参与这些活动的人可能会失去娱乐利益。本文回顾了CWD对科罗拉多经济的一些潜在影响。结果是从科罗拉多和美国其他地区的现有数据和公共信息来源推断出来的。我们的结论与未来的研究，是必要的估计CWD对科罗拉多的经济的影响的具体途径的讨论。
Little direct information on the current and potential economic impacts of chronic wasting disease (CWD) is available. In Colorado, the economic implications of this disease are diverse, complicated, and difficult to measure. For example, free-ranging and captive (farmed) deer and elk populations, as well as private and public lands are affected by CWD. Government agencies incur costs for research, surveillance, and other disease management actions. Interstate and international trade restrictions may cause shifts or declines in economic activities away from CWD infected areas. Consumer demand (e.g., hunting, meat consumption) may suffer due to perceived risks regarding deer and elk meat. Producers of farmed cervidae (i.e., deer, elk) may restrict sales, limit animal movements, and/or have their herds quarantined or depopulated. Finally, businesses and communities may lose revenue from decreased hunting and wildlife viewing, and participants in these activities may lose recreational benefits. This paper reviews some of the potential impacts of CWD on Colorado’s economy. Results are extrapolated from existing data and public information sources from Colorado and other parts of the United States. We conclude with a discussion of specific avenues for future research that are necessary for estimating the impacts of CWD on Colorado’s economy.
