Avmagringssjuka (CWD) hos hjortdjur

, 2019
• Chronic wasting disease (CWD) kallas på svenska avmagringssjukaoch drabbar hjortdjur. En smittsam variant av sjukdomen (även kalladklassisk CWD) påträffades 2016 hos norska vildrenar.• Senare har även atypiska varianter av CWD påträffats hos älg och kronvilti Norge och Finland. Under 2019 har CWD konstaterats hos tre älgkori Norrbotten.

Investigation of Dynamic Loads in Wind Turbine Drive Trains Due to Grid and Power Converter Faults

Energies, 2021
Electrical faults can lead to transient and dynamic excitations of the electromagnetic generator torque in wind turbines. The fast changes in the generator torque lead to load oscillations and rapid changes in the speed of rotation.

Transmission of cervid prions to humanized mice demonstrates the zoonotic potential of CWD

bioRxiv, 2022
Prions cause infectious and fatal neurodegenerative diseases in mammals. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of cervids, spreads efficiently among wild and farmed animals. Potential transmission to humans of CWD is a growing concern due to its

Adaptive selection of a prion strain conformer corresponding to established North American CWD during propagation of novel emergent Norwegian strains in mice expressing elk or deer prion protein

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Prions are infectious proteins causing fatal, transmissible neurodegenerative diseases of animals and humans. Replication involves template-directed refolding of host encoded prion protein, PrPC, by its infectious conformation, PrPSc.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Cervids and the Consequences of a Mutable Protein Conformation

ACS Omega, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It spreads readily from CWD-contaminated environments and among wild cervids.

Composition of live, dead and downed trees in Järvselja old-growth forest

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2022
The study area is in the Järvselja Training and Experimental Forest Centre, Estonia. The conservation of Järvselja old-growth forest started in 1924 when the area was excluded from all management activities and left to natural development.

Detection of CWD prions in naturally infected white-tailed deer fetuses and gestational tissues by PMCA

Scientific Reports, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prevalent prion disease affecting cervids. CWD is thought to be transmitted through direct animal contact or by indirect exposure to contaminated environmental fomites.

Heterogeneity of pathological prion protein accumulation in the brain of moose (Alces alces) from Norway, Sweden and Finland with chronic wasting disease

Veterinary Research, 2023
Prion diseases are a group of neurodegenerative, transmissible, and fatal disorders that affect several animal species. They are characterized by the conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into the pathological prion protein ...

Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease

Biology, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...

Identification of a novel risk factor for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in elk: S100G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the prion protein gene (PRNP)

Veterinary Research, 2023
Prion diseases are fatal and malignant infectious encephalopathies induced by the pathogenic form of prion protein (PrPSc) originating from benign prion protein (PrPC).
