Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Susceptibility of Several North American Rodents That Are Sympatric with Cervid CWD Epidemics [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2010
ABSTRACT Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious always fatal neurodegenerative disease that is currently known to naturally infect only species of the deer family, Cervidae . CWD epidemics are occurring in free-ranging cervids at several locations in North America, and other wildlife species ...

Rapid Antemortem Detection of CWD Prions in Deer Saliva

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an efficiently transmitted prion disease of cervids, now identified in 22 United States, 2 Canadian provinces and Korea. One hallmark of CWD is the shedding of infectious prions in saliva, as demonstrated by bioassay in deer.

CWD Strain Variation

Science, 2010
![Figure][1] CREDIT: ANGERS ET AL. So-called prion diseases are fatal neurogenerative disorders that include chronic wasting disease (CWD) found in deer and other cervids. Prion diseases are thought to be caused by infectious proteins (prions) in the absence of associated infectious DNA.

Experimental Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the Ferret

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2008
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of North American deer, elk and moose, affects both free-ranging and captive cervids. The potential host range for CWD remains uncertain. The susceptibility of the ferret to CWD was examined experimentally by administering infectious brain material by the intracerebral (IC) or oral (PO) route.

Host range and environmental transmission of CWD

2021
The geographic range of chronic wasting disease, a fatal prion disease of cervids, is expanding throughout North America and northern Europe. The ecological effects of this highly infectious disease are unclear, as the host range and routes of transmission of CWD are not fully characterized.

Scrapie, CWD, and Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy

2017
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prions, are neurodegenerative diseases that affect a variety of animal species, including humans. Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, sheep and goat scrapie, chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids, and transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) of mink are classified as TSEs.

Non-linear acoustic concealed weapons detection (CWD)

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
In this paper we describe an acoustic weapons detection concept that is based on ultrasonics and nonlinear acoustics. An ultrasonic projector is used to create an acoustic field at the site of inspection. The field is composed of multiple ultrasonic waves interacting at the interrogation site.

Faecal CWD prion excretion and inflammation.

The new microbiologica, 2010
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE)--or prion disease (PD)--that has become of increasing concern throughout years among different captive and free-living deer species and populations in North America. Starting from the recent pre-clinical evidence of prion infectivity in faecal material from CWD-infected ...

Surveillance of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Japan

2006
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids including elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer, is a member of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). CWD is a serious problem in North America. The detection of abnormal isoforms of prion protein (PrPSc) is a key factor for the diagnosis of CWD, similar to other TSEs.
