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 Drives Population Decline of White-Tailed Deer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an invariably fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. Despite a 100% fatality rate, areas of high prevalence, and increasingly expanding geographic endemic areas ...

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 ...

Experimental oral transmission of chronic wasting disease to reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids, remains prevalent in North American elk, white-tailed deer and mule deer.

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 ...

Carbon dynamics and nutrients in different decay stages of coarse woody debris in natural Hyrcanian forests, Northern Iran [PDF]

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences
The relationship between the degree of decay, carbon dynamics, and nutrients of coarse woody debris (CWD) were examined in the experimental forest of Kheirudkenar – Nowshahr as a part of Hyrcanian forests in Northern Iran.

RT-QuIC detection of CWD prion seeding activity in white-tailed deer muscle tissues

Scientific Reports, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease circulating in wild and farmed cervid populations throughout North America (United States and Canada), Europe (Finland, Norway, Sweden), and South Korea. CWD is a long-term threat to all cervid populations

Optimization of a Wind Turbine Gearbox Design Reducing Component Damage Risk Considering Different Electrical Faults

Energies
Wind turbine (WT) drivetrains are exposed to high dynamic loads, especially caused by grid and converter faults. Those loads increase the frictional energy in the contact zone of the gearbox bearings and gear wheels and, thus, theoretically, the ...

White-Tailed Deer Prion Protein Gene Variability Suggests Selection Against Chronic Wasting Disease in Canada’s Prairies

Viruses
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that targets cervids, has become a significant threat to both free-ranging and captive populations of Canadian white-tailed deer.
