Chronic Wasting Disease: State of the Science

Pathogens
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervid species, both free-ranging and captive populations. As the geographic range continues to expand and disease prevalence continues to increase, CWD will have an impact on cervid populations,

Failure To Detect Prion Infectivity in Ticks following Prion-Infected Blood Meal

mSphere, 2020
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging and fatal contagious prion disease that affects cervids, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, red deer reindeer, elk, and moose. CWD prions are widely distributed throughout the bodies of

Stamping out wildlife disease: Are hunter‐funded stamp programs a viable option for chronic wasting disease management?

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Stamp programs are a financial mechanism that can provide funding from stakeholders for conservation efforts. Sufficient funding is foundational for the management of wildlife and natural resources, especially for infectious disease control for diseases ...

Transgenic Mouse Bioassay : Evidence That Rabbits Are Susceptible to a Variety of Prion Isolates [PDF]

, 2015
Interspecies transmission of prions is a well-established phenomenon, both experimentally and under field conditions. Upon passage through new hosts, prion strains have proven their capacity to change their properties and this is a source of strain ...

Applicability of Current Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Diagnostic Procedures for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 2007
AbstractChronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is one of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies; however, its risk to humans is still obscure. An increase in number of diseased deer in North America has raised concerns regarding the CWD risk to humans.

Detection of CWD prions in naturally infected white-tailed deer fetuses and gestational tissues by PMCA

Scientific Reports, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prevalent prion disease affecting cervids. CWD is thought to be transmitted through direct animal contact or by indirect exposure to contaminated environmental fomites.

Increased Attack Rates and Decreased Incubation Periods in Raccoons with Chronic Wasting Disease Passaged through Meadow Voles

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally-occurring neurodegenerative disease of cervids. Raccoons (Procyon lotor) and meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) have previously been shown to be susceptible to the CWD agent.

Survival and Dispersal of White-tailed Deer in the Agricultural Landscape of East-central Illinois [PDF]

, 2015
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are a keystone species throughout their range in North America. The recent presence of diseases such as chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis in Midwestern North America dictates the examination of ...
