Viral Deer Disease Spreads Across Multiple Counties, Authorities Urge Public Vigilance

The Pennsylvania Gaming Commission reports outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in deer across Mercer, Lawrence, Butler, and Erie counties, caused by infected midges, with no current treatments available. The bluetongue virus (BT) also affects deer, causing severe symptoms and potential death, but some deer survive with chronic issues. Domestic livestock can also be affected, and wildlife populations typically recover within a few years.

Authorities advise reporting sick or dead deer to local wildlife offices.

EHD Detected in Deer Across Four Michigan Counties

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has confirmed the first cases of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in deer for 2025, found in four counties including West Michigan, with the disease being transmitted through midge bites and not contagious to humans or pets. EHD is often fatal but deer can develop immunity, and the DNR advises reporting suspected cases and consuming healthy-appearing venison. The disease tends to appear late summer to early fall, especially after wet springs and hot, dry summers.
