Expanding CWD disease surveillance options using environmental contamination at deer signposts

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Environmental surveillance can allow early detection of diseases, which increases management options and can improve disease trajectories. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is a significant prion disease that has been spreading across North ...

Primary structural differences at residue 226 of deer and elk PrP dictate selection of distinct CWD prion strains in gene-targeted mice

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Our gene-targeting strategy addresses several critical issues relating to chronic wasting disease (CWD), a contagious, lethal neurodegenerative prion disease affecting wild as well as captive cervids, which poses an uncertain risk to humans.

Detection of chronic wasting disease prions in the farm soil of the Republic of Korea

mSphere
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious prion disease occurring in free-ranging and farmed cervids. CWD continues to spread uncontrolled across North America, and cases continue to be detected almost every year in the Republic of Korea.

Prion protein polymorphisms associated with reduced CWD susceptibility limit peripheral PrPCWD deposition in orally infected white-tailed deer

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
BackgroundChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting members of the Cervidae family. PrPC primary structures play a key role in CWD susceptibility resulting in extended incubation periods and regulating the propagation of CWD strains.

Revisiting Hunter Perceptions toward Chronic Wasting Disease: Changes in Behavior over Time

Animals, 2020
Hunter behavior varies in relation to perceived risk of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and changes in perceptions of CWD will lead to changes in behavior over time.

Stance Phase Detection by Inertial Measurement Unit Placed on the Metacarpus of Horses Trotting on Hard and Soft Straight Lines and Circles

Sensors, 2022
The development of on-board technologies has enabled the development of quantification systems to monitor equine locomotion parameters. Their relevance among others relies on their ability to determine specific locomotor events such as foot-on and heel ...

Endemic chronic wasting disease causes mule deer population decline in Wyoming.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and moose (Alces alces shirasi) in North ...

Detection of CWD in cervids by RT-QuIC assay of third eyelids

PLoS ONE, 2019
The diagnosis of chronic wasting disease (CWD) relies on demonstration of the disease-associated misfolded CWD prion protein (PrPCWD) in brain or retropharyngeal lymph node tissue by immunodetection methods, e.g. ELISA and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The

Co-Design of a Wind–Hydrogen System: The Effect of Varying Wind Turbine Types on Techno-Economic Parameters

Energies
Green hydrogen is crucial for achieving climate neutrality and replacing fossil fuels in processes that are hard to electrify. Wind farms producing electricity and hydrogen can help mitigate stress on electricity grids and enable new markets for ...
