Chronic Wasting Disease Agents in Nonhuman Primates
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Chronic wasting disease is a prion disease of cervids. Assessment of its zoonotic potential is critical. To evaluate primate susceptibility, we tested monkeys from 2 genera.

Update on chronic wasting disease (CWD) III [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2019 The European Commission asked EFSA for a Scientific Opinion: to revise the state of knowledge about the differences between the chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains found in North America (NA) and Europe and within Europe; to review new scientific ...

Scrapie versus Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWhite-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).

Chronic wasting disease--prion disease in the wild. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2004 Chronic wasting disease in deer is the only prion disease that infects both free-ranging and captive animals -- a situation that greatly complicates efforts to control ...

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).

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2007 Until recently, chronic wasting disease of cervids, the only prion disease affecting wildlife, was believed to be geographically concentrated to Colorado and Wyoming within the United States. However, increased surveillance has unveiled several additional pockets of CWD-infected deer and elk in 12 additional states and 2 Canadian provinces.

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

Acta virologica, 2011 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of free-ranging and farmed ungulates (deer, elk, and moose) in North America and South Korea. First described by the late E.S. Williams and colleagues in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming in the 1970s, CWD has increased tremendously both in numerical and geographical distribution, reaching ...

Prion protein polymorphisms affect chronic wasting disease progression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Analysis of the PRNP gene in cervids naturally infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD) suggested that PRNP polymorphisms affect the susceptibility of deer to infection.
