Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease
Biology, 2022 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2017 In April and May of 2016, Norway confirmed two cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a wild reindeer and a wild moose, respectively. In the light of this emerging issue, the European Commission requested EFSA to recommend surveillance activities and,

Wasting in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2011 Wasting/cachexia is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is to be distinguished from malnutrition, which is defined as the consequence of insufficient food intake or an improper diet. Malnutrition is characterized by hunger, which is an adaptive response, whereas anorexia is prevalent in patients with wasting/cachexia.

Monitoring of chronic wasting disease (CWD) (IV)
EFSA Journal, 2023 The European Commission requested an analysis of the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) monitoring programme in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (9 January 2017–28 February 2022). Thirteen cases were detected in reindeer,

Horizontal Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease in Reindeer [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 We challenged reindeer by the intracranial route with the agent of chronic wasting disease sourced from white-tailed deer, mule deer, or elk and tested for horizontal transmission to naive reindeer.

Chronic Wasting Disease: State of the Science
PathogensChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting cervid species, both free-ranging and captive populations. As the geographic range continues to expand and disease prevalence continues to increase, CWD will have an impact on cervid populations,

Exposure Risk of Chronic Wasting Disease in Humans [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The majority of human prion diseases are sporadic, but acquired disease can occur, as seen with variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) following consumption of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids.
