Prion shedding is reduced by chronic wasting disease vaccination. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a strictly fatal and highly contagious prion disease of wild and farmed cervids currently expanding in North America. Prion diseases are caused by conversion of the cellular prion protein to its pathological isoform PrPSc.

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

Levels of Abnormal Prion Protein in Deer and Elk with Chronic Wasting Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of deer and elk is a widespread health concern because its potential for cross-species transmission is undetermined. CWD prevalence in wild elk is much lower than its prevalence in wild deer, and whether CWD-infected deer ...

Lack of Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease Prions to Human Cerebral Organoids
Emerging Infectious DiseasesChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a cervid prion disease with unknown zoonotic potential that might pose a risk to humans who are exposed. To assess the potential of CWD to infect human neural tissue, we used human cerebral organoids with 2 different ...

Transmission of chronic wasting disease identifies a prion strain causing cachexia and heart infection in hamsters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging prion disease of free-ranging and captive cervids in North America. In this study we established a rodent model for CWD in Syrian golden hamsters that resemble key features of the disease in cervids including ...
