Chandie Morse Bartell - In conclusion: There are four confirmed human cases of Hydatid Disease in humans in Idaho in the first time in our state's history: 2 USFWS employees who won't go public as they were threatened with their pensions, 1 a friend of mine from Elk River- Keith Lunders he has been cat skanned, and has a cyst in his liver, his letter was entered into the Public Record in front of the Senate Natural Resource Committee, for HB 343, Wolf Disaster Bill, which passed by a huge majority in the Idaho House and Senate. The other is the woman above who went public, and George Dovel wrote an Outdoorsman about her operation, with what she went through. She is not recovered yet, and last I heard still can have daughter cysts, and has to take medications for the rest of her life. *We also have a 15 year old teenager who's family contacted us their son has a cyst on his spleen, that isn't confirmed yet.
From the comments, I didn't realize there were this many cases in Idaho now....QuoteChandie Morse Bartell - In conclusion: There are four confirmed human cases of Hydatid Disease in humans in Idaho in the first time in our state's history: 2 USFWS employees who won't go public as they were threatened with their pensions, 1 a friend of mine from Elk River- Keith Lunders he has been cat skanned, and has a cyst in his liver, his letter was entered into the Public Record in front of the Senate Natural Resource Committee, for HB 343, Wolf Disaster Bill, which passed by a huge majority in the Idaho House and Senate.

I posted a comment on their facebook page. Wow there's a lot of hate on there! Those people need medication and professional help!
Good job WDFW, keep it up. Dallas is correct. Once they get the taste of easy food (cattle) they are not going to leave. Its like the city dwellers on commenting here, it's easier for them to go to McDonalds than it is to grow or hunt for their own food.

This is the tip of the iceberg! With all of the photos of the hunters I've seen with thier wolves and no respirators or anything, there will be many more cases.

Yeah, I remember when I thought Dallas B. (humanure?) was bad. He seems to have a little logic in regards to this particular problem. I guess I'm rotting with you Dale!
There is no arguing with people who believe the following:http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/faq.htmlFrom WDFW,Were wolves re-introduced to Washington?No. There is no reason to bring wolves into Washington because they are returning naturally from dispersing populations in nearby states and provinces. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) never reintroduced or transplanted wolves into Washington, nor has any other state or federal authority.Aren’t the wolves that were reintroduced into Yellowstone non-native or different from earlier wolves?No. There is no factual basis to the belief that the wolves reintroduced in the mid-1990s to Idaho and Yellowstone National Park from west-central Alberta and east-central British Columbia differed (being larger and more aggressive) from the wolves that originally occurred in the northern Rocky Mountain states.Wolves are well known for their ability to disperse long distances from their birth sites. Radio-tracking data demonstrates that the wolves from southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta mixed with wolves from Idaho and Montana, along with those from farther north near the source locations of the animals used in the Idaho and Yellowstone reintroductions. When combined with recent research that reveals considerable genetic mixing among wolf populations in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, this information illustrates that wolves form a single population across the northern U.S. Rocky Mountains and southern Canada.Recent genetic research involving hundreds of wolves sampled from Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming in the 1990s and 2000s found no evidence that the remnant native population of wolves differed from the reintroduced wolves. Thus, the wolves present in these states before wolf recovery began were genetically similar to those used in reintroductions into Yellowstone.

You are more likely to catch Hydatid disease from your pet dog.
QuoteYou are more likely to catch Hydatid disease from your pet dog.I know you are correct but it's from the wolf feces in the forest that your dog gets it right? at least that's what I read in an article written by a biologist who warned the IDFG against transplanting wolves in the 1st place. vicious circle of ungulates getting it from plants infested with eggs from wolf feces then wolves kill & eat ungulates & spread it even further. then Joe public goes hiking with his dog & they get it.

Dogs are the primary spreader of this disease. Ever had a dog with tapeworms? There you go. How many people hug their dogs or let them on their beds or couches? Hydatid disease doesn't prevent people from having contacts with their dogs, but add the word wolf into the equation and people lose their power of reasoning. http://www.dpiw.tas.gov.au/inter.nsf/WebPages/CART-6SA36R?open
I read through the comments and this one just about knocked me off my chair:"So glad I can eat meat from Safeway that died of natural causes." Seriously, where do these people come from?
Sitka, actually all canines are susceptible to Hydatid Disease, but wolves do not get treated by vets or caring humans and wolves cover large expanses of territory, that is why wolves are suspected to be the worst carrier of the parasite.QuoteBy their sheer numbers, I'd guess coyotes are the worst carrier of the "wild" variety.
