Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Cervids and the Consequences of a Mutable Protein Conformation [PDF]

ACS Omega, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It spreads readily from CWD-contaminated environments and among wild cervids. As of 2022, North American CWD has been found in 29 states, four Canadian provinces and South Korea. The Scandinavian form of CWD originated independently.

Chronic Wasting Disease in Farmed Cervids, South Korea, 2001–2024 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was identified in imported elk in South Korea in 2001 and has spread among cervids nationwide. The country’s surveillance and control policy culls cervids from any CWD-positive farms, and prevalence during 2020–2024 was

Chronic Wasting Disease in Cervids: Implications for Prion Transmission to Humans and Other Animal Species

mBio, 2019
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion-related transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids, including deer, elk, reindeer, sika deer, and moose. CWD has been confirmed in at least 26 U.S.

Distribution of chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions in tissues from experimentally exposed coyotes (Canis latrans) [PDF]

PLOS One
Cervids susceptible to chronic wasting disease (CWD) are sympatric with multiple other animal species that can interact with infectious prions. Several reports have described the susceptibility of other species to CWD prions, or their potential to transport them.

Intraspecific Contact Among White‐Tailed Deer: A Literature Review and Chronic Wasting Disease Case Study [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified five themes underlying research on intraspecific contact among white‐tailed deer: physical touch, social groups, spatial overlap, contact rates, and social networks. We found white‐tailed deer infected with chronic wasting disease exhibited similar rates of intraspecific contact as those without infections.

Detection of Chronic Wasting Disease Prions in Raw, Processed, and Cooked Elk Meat, Texas, USA [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We describe chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion detection in raw and cooked meat from a CWD-positive elk. We found limited zoonotic potential in CWD prions from those meat products.

Chronic wasting disease as a model for human prion therapy [PDF]

Prion
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that result from abnormally folded prion proteins. These disorders can be sporadic, acquired, or genetic.

Sensitive, non-invasive detection of chronic wasting disease in wild and captive white-tailed deer using fecal volatile profiling [PDF]

mSphere
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a universally fatal, transmissible prion disease affecting cervids. Primarily found among deer populations in North America, the disease has spread across the continent and made forays into Europe and Asia as well ...

Development of High‐Throughput Genomic Resources to Inform White‐Tailed Deer Population and Disease Management [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are the most abundant and widespread cervid in North America. Genetic data are used as a tool to monitor populations and make management decisions for this game species. However, the development and use of genomic tools that can generate a set of markers suitable for longitudinal genomic data ...

PrPCWD lymphoid cell targets in early and advanced chronic wasting disease of mule deer [PDF]

, 2002
Up to 15% of free-ranging mule deer in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming, USA, are afflicted with a prion disease, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), known as chronic wasting disease (CWD).
