Perceived Risks and Agency Trust Associated With Chronic Wasting Disease Over Time 慢性消耗性疾病相关感知风险与机构信任的时序变化研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

Genetic Predictions of Prion Disease Susceptibility in Carnivore Species Based on Variability of the Prion Gene Coding Region [PDF]

, 2012
Mammalian species vary widely in their apparent susceptibility to prion diseases. For example, several felid species developed prion disease (feline spongiform encephalopathy or FSE) during the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic in the ...

Defensins: The Case for Their Use against Mycobacterial Infections

Journal of Immunology Research, 2016
Human tuberculosis remains a huge global public health problem with an estimated 1/3rd of the population being infected. Defensins are antibacterial cationic peptides produced by a number of cell types, most notably neutrophil granulocytes and epithelial

RT-QuIC detection of pathological prion protein in subclinical goats following experimental oral transmission of L-type BSE

BMC Research Notes, 2021
Objective The spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent to small ruminants is still a major issue in the surveillance of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (L-BSE) is an atypical form of

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

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
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.

Coping with uncertainty in public health: the use of heuristics [PDF]

, 2014
The observation that experts and lay people use cognitive shortcuts or heuristics to arrive at judgements about complex problems is certainly not new.

Rapid selection of single-stranded DNA aptamers binding Staphylococcus epidermidis in platelet concentrates

BioTechniques, 2018
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common transfusion-associated pathogen contaminating platelet concentrates. Methods to reduce or eliminate contaminating bacteria from platelet units are critical for improving the safety of blood transfusions.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Molecular Discrimination of Sheep Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy from Scrapie

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Sheep CH1641-like transmissible spongiform encephalopathy isolates have shown molecular similarities to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) isolates. We report that the prion protein PrPSc from sheep BSE is extremely resistant to denaturation.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as
