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

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
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.

Antler cannibalism in reindeer

Scientific Reports, 2020
Prion diseases constitute a class of invariably fatal and degenerative encephalopathies. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease among cervids, which is spreading and causing marked population declines in USA and Canada.

Malignant Potential of Temporal Bone Paragangliomas With Reference to GAPP System

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the temporal bone paragangliomas (so‐called glomus tumors, TB‐PGLs) via the Grading System for Adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (GAPP) and succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) immunohistochemistry, and to discuss their implications for postoperative follow‐up and treatment strategies.

CWD prions remain infectious after passage through the digestive system of coyotes (Canis latrans)

Prion, 2015
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a geographically expanding prion disease of wild and captive cervids in North America. Disease can be transmitted directly, animal to animal, or indirectly via the environment.

Characteristics of Intense Multi‐Day Wet Spells Over West Africa

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 4, 30 March 2026.
The study reveals a significant increase in intense wet spells, particularly in KASS‐D, emphasising the value of dense rain‐gauge networks. Larger‐sized events have grown, while smaller ones declined, boosting 3‐day and 5‐day wet spells' contribution to annual rainfall, with the Guinea Coast showing the highest increase and the Sahel the lowest ...

Decomposition of Norway spruce and European larch coarse woody debris (CWD) in relation to different elevation and exposure in an Alpine setting

, 2016
: To describe the decay stage of coarse woody debris (CWD) a five decay-class system has been introduced and it is currently the most commonly applied.

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Complex trajectories of tree growth in the southwestern United States after severe drought

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Climate change driven extreme droughts have major impacts on forest ecosystems, including large‐scale mortality and reduced primary production, which feedback to affect the global carbon cycle. The long‐term impacts of extreme drought events on forest mortality, ecosystem responses, and recovery/post‐drought trajectories are poorly understood.

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.

Very low oral exposure to prions of brain or saliva origin can transmit chronic wasting disease.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The minimum infectious dose required to induce CWD infection in cervids remains unknown, as does whether peripherally shed prions and/or multiple low dose exposures are important factors in CWD transmission.
