Research in Veterinary Science, 2020 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSEs) that affects free-ranging and captive cervid species. The infectious agent of CWD may be transmitted from ingestion of prions shed in bodily fluids (e.g. feces, urine, saliva, placenta tissue) of infected animals, contaminated pastures, and/or decomposing carcasses from ...

Factors influencing Wisconsin deer hunter participation in voluntary CWD testing
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 7, September 2025.Hunter participation in testing harvested white‐tailed deer for chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a critical wildlife disease surveillance strategy. We present the results of a binary logistic model to quantify the effects of CWD status of the county of harvest, perceptions of CWD risk, trust in information provided by the management agency, and belief ...

Mineral licks as environmental reservoirs of chronic wasting disease prions.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of deer, elk, moose, and reindeer (cervids) caused by misfolded prion proteins. The disease has been reported across North America and recently discovered in northern Europe. Transmission

Lack of Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease Prions to Human Cerebral Organoids
Emerging Infectious DiseasesChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a cervid prion disease with unknown zoonotic potential that might pose a risk to humans who are exposed. To assess the potential of CWD to infect human neural tissue, we used human cerebral organoids with 2 different ...

Human Prion Disease and Relative Risk Associated with Chronic Wasting Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 The transmission of the prion disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to humans raises concern about chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of deer and elk. In 7 Colorado counties with high CWD prevalence, 75% of state hunting licenses are

, 2022 109 pages ; White-tailed deer are an important species in New York, but chronic wasting disease (CWD) threatens the many benefits derived from white-tailed deer. CWD is a fatal prion disease within the same category of diseases as mad cow disease. New York is currently CWD-free, but the disease has been spreading throughout the United States and was ...
