Officials with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said testing done during the 2007 deer hunting season turned up no cases of chronic wasting disease.
A total of 405 tissue samples were tested, according to biologist Kent Gustafson in a news release. Nearly 2,300 deer have been tested in New Hampshire since the program began in 2002 without any positive tests.
CWD is a neurological disorder that is fatal to deer, elk and moose. There is no evidence that humans can be infected with CWD.
