Spatiotemporal occupancy patterns of chronic wasting disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionChronic 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.

Chronic Wasting Disease: State of the Science [PDF]
PathogensChronic 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,

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

Erratum to: Wasting in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2011 Wasting/cachexia is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is to be distinguished from malnutrition, which is defined as the consequence of insufficient food intake or an improper diet.

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 ...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2017 In April and May of 2016, Norway confirmed two cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a wild reindeer and a wild moose, respectively. In the light of this emerging issue, the European Commission requested EFSA to recommend surveillance activities and,

Veterinary Pathology, 2005 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a unique transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus), white-tailed deer ( O. virginianus), and Rocky Mountain elk ( Cervus elaphus nelsoni). The natural history of CWD is incompletely understood, but it differs from scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) by virtue of ...

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,

Scientific opinion on chronic wasting disease (II) [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2018 The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on chronic wasting disease in two parts. Part one, on surveillance, animal health risk‐based measures and public health risks, was published in January 2017.

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