Hunter perceptions toward chronic wasting disease: Implications for harvest and management

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Previous human dimension research has reported negative perceptions among hunters toward Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and disease‐related regulations that may limit hunter participation, reduce harvest, and generally complicate management.

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

, 2020
AbstractChronic 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.

Plasmonics‐Enhanced Characterization of Cervid PrP (87–114) Fragment Aggregates in Solution

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Multimodal nanophotonics platform combining plasmon‐enhanced imaging, label‐free SERS, and optical staining reveals new insights into the aggregation of the cervid PrP (87–114) fragment, an amyloidogenic sequence linked to chronic wasting disease susceptibility.ABSTRACTWe performed a multimodal characterisation of self‐assembled fibrillar aggregates ...

PMCA screening of retropharyngeal lymph nodes in white-tailed deer and comparisons with ELISA and IHC

Scientific Reports, 2023
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervids. CWD diagnosis is conducted through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in retropharyngeal lymph nodes.

Transmission of Raccoon-Passaged Chronic Wasting Disease Agent to White-Tailed Deer

Viruses, 2022
The transmission characteristics of prion diseases are influenced by host prion protein sequence and, therefore, the host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of cervids, has widespread geographical distribution throughout North ...

Detecting disease progression from animal movement using hidden Markov models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate how (H)HMMs can be tailored to different epidemiological scenarios and provide a template workflow for developing and selecting Hidden Markov models to infer disease status from animal movement data. Identifying infection before mortality occurs offers a valuable early‐warning tool for population managers, reduces reliance on difficult ...

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

Bayesian Modeling of Prion Disease Dynamics in Mule Deer Using Population Monitoring and Capture-Recapture Data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Epidemics of chronic wasting disease (CWD) of North American Cervidae have potential to harm ecosystems and economies. We studied a migratory population of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) affected by CWD for at least three decades using a Bayesian ...

Chronic Wasting Disease Drives Population Decline of White-Tailed Deer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an invariably fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. Despite a 100% fatality rate, areas of high prevalence, and increasingly expanding geographic endemic areas ...
