Wisconsin EHD outbreak reaches 2,305 deer, setting new state record

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease has killed at least 2,305 white-tailed deer in eight southeastern Wisconsin counties, marking the largest outbreak in state history. The virus, spread by midges, also affected dairy heifers and captive deer. While the disease poses no risk to humans, it causes rapid death in hooved animals. The outbreak is expected to end after the first hard frost, which kills the insect vectors. The Department of Natural Resources is not reducing hunting tags despite the high mortality rates.

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.
