Cross-species transmission of CWD prions [PDF]

Prion, 2016
Prions cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals and can be transmitted zoonotically. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly transmissible prion disease of wild deer and elk that affects cervids over extensive regions of the United States and Canada. The risk of cross-species CWD transmission has been experimentally evaluated in a

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2017
Abstract In April and May of 2016, Norway confirmed two cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a wild reindeer and a wild moose, respectively. In the light of this emerging issue, the European Commission requested EFSA to recommend surveillance activities and, if necessary, additional animal health risk‐based measures to prevent the introduction of ...

The first complete mitogenome of Cervus canadensis nannodes (Merriam, 1905)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Cervus canadensis nannodes (Merriam, 1905) is one of the subspecies of elk distributed only in California, USA. We completed the first mitogenome of C. canadensis nannodes. Its length is 16,428 bp, which is in middle among 24 available Cervus mitogenomes.

Chronic Wasting Disease Transmission Risk Assessment for Farmed Cervids in Minnesota and Wisconsin

Viruses, 2021
CWD (chronic wasting disease) has emerged as one of the most important diseases of cervids and continues to adversely affect farmed and wild cervid populations, despite control and preventive measures.

Upper Midwest tribal natural resource managers' perspectives on chronic wasting disease outreach, surveillance, and management

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Management strategies for chronic wasting disease (CWD) across tribal lands have varied in response to changing dynamics of CWD risk. As CWD continues to spread across the United States, concerns associated with the disease are increasing. We interviewed

Long-term changes in coarse woody debris abundance in three Appalachian headwater streams with differing best management practices

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionTimber harvests influence coarse woody debris (CWD) dynamics both initially and long-term—contributing a significant amount of CWD as slash immediately after harvest, but also removing some or all of the mature trees necessary to produce CWD ...

Transmission, Strain Diversity, and Zoonotic Potential of Chronic Wasting Disease

Viruses, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting several species of captive and free-ranging cervids. In the past few decades, CWD has been spreading uncontrollably, mostly in North America, resulting in a high increase of CWD incidence but ...
