The Department of Natural Resources said Monday that Houston County is the second county in Minnesota where wild deer have contracted epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD.

According to that release, deer were found dead this year in small areas of Summers, Monroe and Greenbrier counties, and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus was isolated in Summers County, the release stated.

The Iowa Natural Resources Department says the outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease is concentrated in and near Warren County.
