Abstract
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was identified in imported elk in South Korea in 2001 and has spread among cervids nationwide. The country's surveillance and control policy culls cervids from any CWD-positive farms, and prevalence during 2020-2024 was <0.5%. Maintaining low prevalence in cervids will limit livestock, wildlife, and human CWD exposure.
