Persistence of scrapie infectivity within a farm environment after cleaning and decontamination [PDF]
Scrapie of sheep/goats and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) of deer/elk are contagious prion diseases where environmental reservoirs are directly implicated in the transmission of disease.

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

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

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

Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Elk: a Critique of Current Models and Their Application [PDF]
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of deer (Odocoileus spp.) and elk (Cervus elaphus), presents a challenge to wildlife managers because little is known about its transmission, yet it could severely threaten ...

Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

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

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