Generation of human chronic wasting disease in transgenic mice

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a cervid prion disease caused by the accumulation of an infectious misfolded conformer (PrPSc) of cellular prion protein (PrPC). It has been spreading rapidly in North America and also found in Asia and Europe.

Large animal models for chronic wasting disease [PDF]

Cell and Tissue Research, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since its discovery in the late 1960's and is now recognized in captive and free-ranging cervid populations in North America, Asia and Europe.

CD4+ T cells regulate sickness-induced anorexia and fat wasting during a chronic parasitic infection

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Infections cause catabolism of fat and muscle stores. Traditionally, studies have focused on understanding how the innate immune system contributes to energy stores wasting, while the role of the adaptive immune system remains elusive.

Human Prion Disease and Relative Risk Associated with Chronic Wasting Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The transmission of the prion disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to humans raises concern about chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of deer and elk. In 7 Colorado counties with high CWD prevalence, 75% of state hunting licenses are

Susceptibility of Domestic Cats to Chronic Wasting Disease [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2013
ABSTRACT Domestic and nondomestic cats have been shown to be susceptible to feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), almost certainly caused by consumption of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-contaminated meat. Because domestic and free-ranging nondomestic felids scavenge cervid carcasses, including those in areas affected ...
