Environmental Sources of Prion Transmission in Mule Deer

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Whether transmission of the chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion among cervids requires direct interaction with infected animals has been unclear. We report that CWD can be transmitted to susceptible animals indirectly, from environments contaminated by ...
