Understanding the Phenotypic Heterogeneity Within the Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease MV1 Subtype

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 3, June 2026.
We present the clinical, pathological and prion biophysical features of three atypical cases of the MV1 subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD). We propose that these heterozygous cases exist on a spectrum ranging from MM1‐like to VV1‐like phenotypes and recommend that subtyping be performed at pH 6.9 to avoid missing atypical or mixed ...

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.

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.

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2026.
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 ...

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 ...

A 2.5 km Movement by a Potentially Ill White‐Tailed Deer Along Nantasket Beach in Suburban Massachusetts, USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We opportunistically characterize a 2.5 km white‐tailed deer movement along a beach in a suburban coastal environment, providing a natural history account of deer behavior amidst intersectional factors. We also describe multiple notable behaviors performed by the deer that could be caused by a variety of factors, including disorientation, illness, or ...

Chronic wasting disease as a model for human prion therapy

Prion
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that result from abnormally folded prion proteins. These disorders can be sporadic, acquired, or genetic.
