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.

The ecology of chronic wasting disease in wildlife [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2019 ABSTRACTPrions are misfolded infectious proteins responsible for a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases termed transmissible spongiform encephalopathy or prion diseases. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is the prion disease with the highest spillover potential, affecting at least seven Cervidae (deer) species.

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,

Prion seeding activity in DNA extractions: implications for laboratory biosafety
PrionInfectious 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.

A prion disease of cervids: Chronic wasting disease [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2008 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of deer, elk, and moose, initially recognized in Colorado mule deer. The discovery of CWD beyond the borders of Colorado and Wyoming, in Canada and as far east as New York, has led to its emergence as a prion disease of international importance.

Failure To Detect Prion Infectivity in Ticks following Prion-Infected Blood Meal
mSphere, 2020 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging and fatal contagious prion disease that affects cervids, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, red deer reindeer, elk, and moose. CWD prions are widely distributed throughout the bodies of

Chronic Wasting Disease Prions in Elk Antler Velvet
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal prion disease of deer and elk that continues to emerge in new locations. To explore the means by which prions are transmitted with high efficiency among cervids, we examined prion infectivity in the ...
