JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the National Deer Association (NDA) invite landowners and others interested in managing deer on their properties to join them online on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 6 p.m. for a free Zoom webinar on identifying hemorrhagic disease in Missouri deer. This live Zoom webinar will begin with a presentation from an MDC deer biologist followed by questions for MDC and NDA staff. The webinar is part of MDC's and NDA's free 2024 Missouri Deer Management Webinar Series via Zoom.

Hemorrhagic disease is caused by infection from biting midge flies that spread the viruses that cause the disease. In North America, there are two viruses that cause hemorrhagic disease: epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) and bluetongue virus (BTV).
