Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Susceptibility of Several North American Rodents That Are Sympatric with Cervid CWD Epidemics [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2009 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 ...

Use of different RT-QuIC substrates for detecting CWD prions in the brain of Norwegian cervids [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious prion disease affecting captive and free-ranging cervid populations. CWD has been detected in United States, Canada, South Korea and, most recently, in Europe (Norway, Finland and Sweden). Animals with

Addressing chronic wasting disease in Korean farms: topsoil removal and 2N NaOH treatment before cervid restocking [PDF]
PrionChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious prion disease occurring in free-ranging and farmed cervids. In the Republic of Korea, cases of CWD continue to be detected almost annually, on both new and occasionally previously infected farms.

Phenotypic heterogeneity of spontaneous lymphomas of CWD mice [PDF]
Blood, 1989 Abstract Animals of the inbred mouse strain, CWD, express endogenous murine leukemia viruses early in life and have a high incidence of spontaneous neoplasms. We found that approximately one half of these animals died of malignant lymphoma by the age of 16 months.

Detection and Quantification of CWD Prions in Fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissues by Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 Traditional diagnostic detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) relies on immunodetection of misfolded CWD prion protein (PrPCWD) by western blotting, ELISA, or immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Impact of low testing numbers on chronic wasting disease apparent prevalence [PDF]
PrionChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cervids, and its management heavily relies on diagnostic testing. Test results are commonly used to calculate ‘apparent prevalence’ (AP) – the percent of animals tested for CWD (CWD ...
