Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease

Biology, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...

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.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Susceptibility of Several North American Rodents That Are Sympatric with Cervid CWD Epidemics [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2010
ABSTRACT Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious always fatal neurodegenerative disease that is currently known to naturally infect only species of the deer family, Cervidae . CWD epidemics are occurring in free-ranging cervids at several locations in North America, and other wildlife species ...

Detection of CWD prions in urine and saliva of deer by transgenic mouse bioassay.

PLoS ONE, 2009
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting captive and free-ranging cervids (e.g. deer, elk, and moose). The mechanisms of CWD transmission are poorly understood, though bodily fluids are thought to play an important role.

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

Mol Ecol Resour
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 ...

Evidence for distinct chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains in experimental CWD in ferrets

Journal of General Virology, 2012
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an evolving prion disease of cervids (deer, elk and moose) that has been recognized in North America and Korea. Infection of non-cervid reservoir or transport species in nature is not reported. However, the ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is susceptible to CWD after experimental inoculation.

Endemic chronic wasting disease causes mule deer population decline in Wyoming.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and moose (Alces alces shirasi) in North ...

Chronic Wasting Disease Prion Strain Emergence and Host Range Expansion

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Human and mouse prion proteins share a structural motif that regulates resistance to common chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion strains. Successful transmission of an emergent strain of CWD prion, H95+, into mice resulted in infection. Thus, emergent CWD

Research on Socioeconomic Impacts of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Alberta

Education and Research Archive, 2010
This report summarizes a series of projects undertaken by staff and students in the Department of Rural Economy which examine various socio-economic aspects of chronic wasting disease and its effect on a range of stakeholders in Alberta. The four projects included exploring impacts on the cervid farming industry, hunters, the general Albertan public ...
