Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids

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,

Chronic wasting disease prions in mule deer interdigital glands.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a geographically expanding, fatal neurodegenerative disease in cervids. The disease can be transmitted directly (animal-animal) or indirectly via infectious prions shed into the environment.

Scientific opinion on chronic wasting disease (II)

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.

Update on chronic wasting disease (CWD) III

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 ...

Exposure Risk of Chronic Wasting Disease in Humans

Viruses, 2020
The majority of human prion diseases are sporadic, but acquired disease can occur, as seen with variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) following consumption of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

Invariant algebraic surfaces of a chronic wasting disease model

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2021
In this paper we study a chronic wasting disease (CWD) model of three dimensional ordinary differential equations. We use the method of characteristic curves to give a complete classification of this system with invariant algebraic surfaces. In addition,

Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids.

Prion seeding activity in DNA extractions: implications for laboratory biosafety

Prion
Infectious prions (PrPSc) are largely resistant to proteolytic digestion, including proteinase K (PK) digestion. While nucleic acid extracts are generally considered non-infectious from a classical microbiology context (i.e.

Cellular interplay in skeletal muscle regeneration and wasting: insights from animal models

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Skeletal muscle wasting, whether related to physiological ageing, muscle disuse or to an underlying chronic disease, is a key determinant to quality of life and mortality.
