Officials had to euthanize 40,000 trout in Virginia to prevent the spread of whirling disease, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources announced Thursday |

Whirling disease is caused by a microscopic parasite and leads to skeletal deformities in fish from the trout and salmon family, according to the DWR. |
