Abundant PrP^CWD in Tonsil from Mule Deer with Preclinical Chronic Wasting Disease [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2003
A monoclonal antibody dot-blot assay was used to evaluate detergent lysates of tonsil tissue from mule deer to detect PrPCWD, the marker for the cervid transmissible spongiform encephalopathy chronic wasting disease (CWD). Samples of formalin-fixed brain and tonsil tissues from mule deer were examined for PrPCWD using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with ...

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Review on PRNP genetics and susceptibility to chronic wasting disease of Cervidae

Veterinary Research, 2021
To date, chronic wasting disease (CWD) is the most infectious form of prion disease affecting several captive, free ranging and wild cervid species. Responsible for marked population declines in North America, its geographical spread is now becoming a ...

First results of chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance in the South‐Eastern part of Belgium [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 2005
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has not been reported in Europe, whereas it is considered to be enzootic in free-ranging mule deer, Rocky mountain elk and white-tailed deer in the area of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, and new foci of CWD have been detected in other parts of the United States.

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Zoonotic Potential of Chronic Wasting Disease after Adaptation in Intermediate Species

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging disease in Europe. We report an increase in interspecies transmission capacity and zoonotic potential of a moose CWD isolate from Europe after passage in an ovine prion protein–expressing host.

Perceived Risks and Agency Trust Associated With Chronic Wasting Disease Over Time 慢性消耗性疾病相关感知风险与机构信任的时序变化研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

The L108I polymorphism in mouse prion protein drives spontaneous disease and enhances transmission of atypical and classical prion strains

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Risk behaviors in a rural community with a known point-source exposure to chronic wasting disease

Environmental Health, 2008
Background The emergence and continuing spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids has now reached 14 U.S. states, two Canadian provinces, and South Korea, producing a potential for transmission of CWD prions to humans and other animals globally.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
