Scientific opinion on chronic wasting disease (II) [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2018 The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on chronic wasting disease in two parts. Part one, on surveillance, animal health risk‐based measures and public health risks, was published in January 2017.

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

Chronic Wasting Disease Agents in Nonhuman Primates
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Chronic wasting disease is a prion disease of cervids. Assessment of its zoonotic potential is critical. To evaluate primate susceptibility, we tested monkeys from 2 genera.

Chronic wasting disease: Emerging prions and their potential risk [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Prions cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals by converting the cellular prion protein PrP into aggregation-prone PrP. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of free-ranging

Inactivation of chronic wasting disease prions using sodium hypochlorite
PLoS ONE, 2019 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease that can infect deer, elk and moose. CWD has now been detected in 26 states of the USA, 3 Canadian provinces, South Korea, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Chronic Wasting Disease Prion Strain Emergence and Host Range Expansion
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Human and mouse prion proteins share a structural motif that regulates resistance to common chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion strains. Successful transmission of an emergent strain of CWD prion, H95+, into mice resulted in infection. Thus, emergent CWD

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a deleterious brain proteinopathy caused by a pathogenic form of prion protein (PrPSc), which is converted from a benign form of prion protein (PrPC) encoded by the prion protein gene (PRNP).

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2007 Until recently, chronic wasting disease of cervids, the only prion disease affecting wildlife, was believed to be geographically concentrated to Colorado and Wyoming within the United States. However, increased surveillance has unveiled several additional pockets of CWD-infected deer and elk in 12 additional states and 2 Canadian provinces.
