Spatiotemporal occupancy patterns of chronic wasting disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionChronic wasting disease (CWD) among cervids in Kansas has seen a consistent rise over the years, both in terms of the number of infections and its geographical spread.

Prion shedding is reduced by chronic wasting disease vaccination. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a strictly fatal and highly contagious prion disease of wild and farmed cervids currently expanding in North America. Prion diseases are caused by conversion of the cellular prion protein to its pathological isoform PrPSc.

Genetic Variation and Strain Dynamics in Chronic Wasting Disease [PDF]

Viruses
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids marked by growing strain diversity and variation in host susceptibility. Central to this complexity are prion protein gene (Prnp) polymorphisms, which can modulate pathogenesis by altering the ...

Chronic Wasting Disease: State of the Science [PDF]

Pathogens
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervid species, both free-ranging and captive populations. As the geographic range continues to expand and disease prevalence continues to increase, CWD will have an impact on cervid populations,

Scrapie versus Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
White-tailed deer are susceptible to scrapie (WTD scrapie) after oronasal inoculation with the classical scrapie agent from sheep. Deer affected by WTD scrapie are difficult to differentiate from deer infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD).

Association Study of the M132L Single Nucleotide Polymorphism With Susceptibility to Chronic Wasting Disease in Korean Elk: A Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a deleterious brain proteinopathy caused by a pathogenic form of prion protein (PrPSc), which is converted from a benign form of prion protein (PrPC) encoded by the prion protein gene (PRNP).

Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease

Biology, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...

Monitoring of chronic wasting disease (CWD) (IV)

EFSA Journal, 2023
The European Commission requested an analysis of the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) monitoring programme in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (9 January 2017–28 February 2022). Thirteen cases were detected in reindeer,

Mouse models of chronic wasting disease: A review

Frontiers in Virology, 2023
Animal models are essential tools for investigating and understanding complex prion diseases like chronic wasting disease (CWD), an infectious prion disease of cervids (elk, deer, moose, and reindeer). Over the past several decades, numerous mouse models
