Experimental Oronasal Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease Agent from White-Tailed Deer to Suffolk Sheep

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease of cervids. We examined host range of CWD by oronasally inoculating Suffolk sheep with brain homogenate from a CWD-positive white-tailed deer.

County-wide assessments of Illinois white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) prion protein gene variation using improved primers and potential implications for management

PLoS ONE, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, highly infectious prion disease that affects captive and wild cervids. Chronic wasting disease is the only known transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting free-ranging wildlife. In CWD-positive deer, some

Genetic variability of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in wild ruminants from Italy and Scotland [PDF]

, 2009
The genetics of the prion protein gene (PRNP) play a crucial role in determining the relative susceptibility to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in several mammalian species.

PULMONARY AND SUBMANDIBULAR LYMPH NODE ABSCESSES IN A WHITE – TAILED DEER (ODOCOILEUS VIRGINIANUS) [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2010
A thin, lactating and uncoordinated female white-tailed deer was submitted for necropsy as part of a surveillance program for chronic wasting disease (CWD). Laboratory tests for CWD and rabies were negative. Post-mortem examination revealed pulmonary and

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Modeling Risks and Mitigation Options for the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Scandinavia [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious neural prion-disease affecting deer populations in North America with severe ecological and societal consequences. CWD is fatal and infectious prions spread and remain in the environment for many years even without animals present.
