Overview of North American Isolates of Chronic Wasting Disease Used for Strain Research

Pathogens
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects Cervidae species, and is the only known prion disease transmitted among wildlife species.

Sensitive, non-invasive detection of chronic wasting disease in wild and captive white-tailed deer using fecal volatile profiling

mSphere
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a universally fatal, transmissible prion disease affecting cervids. Primarily found among deer populations in North America, the disease has spread across the continent and made forays into Europe and Asia as well ...

Predicting chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer at the county scale using machine learning

Scientific Reports
Continued spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) through wild cervid herds negatively impacts populations, erodes wildlife conservation, drains resource dollars, and challenges wildlife management agencies. Risk factors for CWD have been investigated at

Impact of low testing numbers on chronic wasting disease apparent prevalence

Prion
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cervids, and its management heavily relies on diagnostic testing. Test results are commonly used to calculate ‘apparent prevalence’ (AP) – the percent of animals tested for CWD (CWD ...

Are rapid tests and confirmatory western blot used for cattle and small ruminants TSEs reliable tools for the diagnosis of Chronic Wasting Disease in Europe?

PLoS ONE, 2023
The first case of CWD in Europe was detected in a Norwegian reindeer in 2016, followed later by two CWD cases in Norwegian moose. To prevent the potential spread of CWD to the EU, the European Commission (Regulation EU 2017_1972) implemented a CWD ...

Comparative study of immunoassays, a microelectromechanical systems-based biosensor, and RT-QuIC for the diagnosis of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in cervids. The disease is caused by a pathogenic prion, namely PrPSc. Currently, diagnosis of CWD relies on IHC detection of PrPSc in the obex or retropharyngeal
