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 ...

Evidence for distinct chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains in experimental CWD in ferrets

Journal of General Virology, 2012
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an evolving prion disease of cervids (deer, elk and moose) that has been recognized in North America and Korea. Infection of non-cervid reservoir or transport species in nature is not reported. However, the ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is susceptible to CWD after experimental inoculation.

Monitoring of chronic wasting disease (CWD) (IV)

EFSA Journal, 2023
The European Commission requested an analysis of the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) monitoring programme in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (9 January 2017-28 February 2022). Thirteen cases were detected in reindeer, 15 in moose and 3 in red deer.

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.

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 ...

Update on chronic wasting disease (CWD) III [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2019
The European Commission asked EFSA for a Scientific Opinion: to revise the state of knowledge about the differences between the chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains found in North America (NA) and Europe and within Europe; to review new scientific evidence on the zoonotic potential of CWD and to provide recommendations to address the potential risks ...

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.

Changes in wood density, biomass, and carbon and nitrogen storage of Beech and Hornbeam CWD based on different decay grade in Khairud forest of Nowshahr [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2021
Coarse woody debris (CWD) play important structural and biogeochemical roles in forest ecosystem processes. The aim of this study was to determine the wood density and biomass of beech and hornbeam and its relationship with different degrees of decay and

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 ...
