Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Review on prion diseases in animals with emphasis to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

Veterinary World, 2012
Prion diseases are known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). These are degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny microscopic holes that give the brain 'spongy' appearance.

Accumulation of L-type Bovine Prions in Peripheral Nerve Tissues

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
We recently reported the intraspecies transmission of L-type atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). To clarify the peripheral pathogenesis of L-type BSE, we studied prion distribution in nerve and lymphoid tissues obtained from experimentally ...

From Meat to Plant‐Based Products? The Enduring Impact of BSE on Beef Consumption

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study reassesses the impact of the historical BSE outbreak on EU diets, showing that consumption patterns shifted persistently even after policy actions eliminated the food safety risk. Utilizing advanced difference‐in‐differences techniques on 1980–2020 data, we demonstrate that while beef consumption exhibited a transient U‐shaped ...

Oral Transmission of L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Agent among Cattle

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
To determine oral transmissibility of the L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion, we orally inoculated 16 calves with brain homogenates of the agent. Only 1 animal, given a high dose, showed signs and died at 88 months. These results suggest

Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.

Differentiation of Prions from L-type BSE versus Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We compared transmission characteristics for prions from L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy and MM2-cortical sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the Syrian golden hamster and an ovine prion protein–transgenic mouse line and isolated distinct prion

All Roads Lead to China: Argentina's Beef Exports in the Context of a New Subordinate Complementarity

Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 26, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article analyses the recent expansion of Argentina's beef exports in the context of China's emergence as the world's leading beef importer and the principal destination for Argentine exports. It examines shifts in production, export orientation and domestic consumption, and analyses the export‐oriented fractions of meat capital that have ...

Experimental transfusion of variant CJD-infected blood reveals previously uncharacterised prion disorder in mice and macaque

Nature Communications, 2017
It is hypothesised that exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy through contaminated food could have resulted in a large proportion of latent variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cases in humans. Here the authors demonstrate that inoculation with blood
