Chronic Wasting Disease of Cervids

2004
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has recently emerged in North America as an important prion disease of captive and free-ranging cervids (species in the deer family). CWD is the only recognized transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting free-ranging species.

Scrapie and chronic wasting disease

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2003
Scrapie and CWD share many features. There are marked similarities in the clinical presentations, the lesions, and the pathogenesis of these diseases, and some similarities in the epidemiology. Extrapolation from the scrapie model of TSE disease to CWD--which occurs in three different species, and should not be considered to be uniform in their ...

Muscle wasting in chronic kidney disease

Pediatric Nephrology, 2017
Loss of lean body mass is a relevant component of the cachexia, or protein energy wasting (PEW), syndrome. Reduced muscle mass seems to be the most solid criterion for the presence of cachexia/PEW in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and those with greater muscle mass loss have a higher risk of death.

ADRENAL FUNCTION IN CHRONIC WASTING DISEASES

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1960
ABSTRACT Plasma and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OH-CS) were measured in a group of 29 patients in whom body wasting was, with few exceptions, due to chronic disease. The total urinary 17-OH-CS output was low due to a reduction in the glucuronide conjugated fraction,but plasma free 17-OH-CS concentration and urinary free 17-OH-CS output were ...

Experimental Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the Ferret

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2008
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of North American deer, elk and moose, affects both free-ranging and captive cervids. The potential host range for CWD remains uncertain. The susceptibility of the ferret to CWD was examined experimentally by administering infectious brain material by the intracerebral (IC) or oral (PO) route.

Oxidative stress, chronic disease, and muscle wasting

Muscle & Nerve, 2007
AbstractUnderlying the pathogenesis of chronic disease is the state of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is an imbalance in oxidant and antioxidant levels. If an overproduction of oxidants overwhelms the antioxidant defenses, oxidative damage of cells, tissues, and organs ensues.

Chronic wasting disease of cervids

Small Ruminant Research, 2015
Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids is the only known transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) found in non-domestic, free-ranging animals. To date, it is found in wild cervids only in North America, and natural infection has been detected in only four species (Cervus elaphus nelsoni, Odocoileus hemionus, Odocoileus virginianus and

Chronic wasting disease: an evolving prion disease of cervids

2018
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a relatively new and burgeoning prion epidemic of deer, elk, reindeer, and moose, which are members of the cervid family. While the disease was first described in captive deer, its subsequent discovery in various species of free-ranging animals makes it the only currently recognized prion disorder of both wild and ...

Chronic wasting disease

Het Edelhert, 2018
Chronic wastlng disease (CWD) is een hersenziekte bij hertachtigen. Tot voor kort was deze ziekte alleen gesignaleerd in Noord-Amerika en Zuid Korea. In Noord Amerika breidt de ziekte zich al jaren steeds verder uit over het continent. CWD houdt sinds april 2016 ook de gemoederen in Europa bezig.
