Differential gene expression in chronic wasting disease‐positive white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects cervid species throughout North America. We evaluated gene expression in white‐tailed deer collected by Illinois Department of Natural Resource wildlife ...

Transmission studies of chronic wasting disease to transgenic mice overexpressing human prion protein using the RT-QuIC assay

Veterinary Research, 2019
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease which infects deer, elk and moose. CWD was first described as a wasting syndrome in captive deer in Colorado and Wyoming wildlife facilities from 1967 to 1979.

Lack of Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease Prions to Human Cerebral Organoids

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Chronic 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 ...

Chronic Wasting Disease [PDF]

, 2016
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a prion that affects cervids including deer, elk and moose. At one time, CWD was an obscure illness that seemed to occur only in a small geographic area in northeastern Colorado and ...

Sensitive, non-invasive detection of chronic wasting disease in wild and captive white-tailed deer using fecal volatile profiling

mSphere
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a universally fatal, transmissible prion disease affecting cervids. Primarily found among deer populations in North America, the disease has spread across the continent and made forays into Europe and Asia as well ...

Prion forensics: a multidisciplinary approach to investigate CWD at an illegal deer carcass disposal site

Prion
Infectious prions are resistant to degradation and remain infectious in the environment for several years. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been detected in cervids inhabiting North America, the Nordic countries, and South Korea.

Chronic Wasting Disease and Animal Agriculture

, 2004
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a member of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), is only known to naturally affect mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), white-tailed deer (O. uirginianus), and Rocky Mountain elk (Ceruus elaphus nelsoni).
