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).

A microfluidic biosensor for the diagnosis of chronic wasting disease
Microsystems & Nanoengineering, 2023 Cervids are affected by a neurologic disease that is always fatal to individuals and has population effects. This disease is called chronic wasting disease (CWD) and is caused by a misfolded prion protein.

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 and Potential Transmission to Humans
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of deer and elk is endemic in a tri-corner area of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, and new foci of CWD have been detected in other parts of the United States.

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.

Novel Prion Strain as Cause of Chronic Wasting Disease in a Moose, Finland
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Our previous studies using gene-targeted mouse models of chronic wasting disease (CWD) demonstrated that Norway and North America cervids are infected with distinct prion strains that respond differently to naturally occurring amino acid variation at ...

Chronic wasting disease in Europe: new strains on the horizon
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2021 Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders with known natural occurrence in humans and a few other mammalian species. The diseases are experimentally transmissible, and the agent is derived from the host-encoded cellular prion protein (PrP C ),

The economic costs of chronic wasting disease in the United States
PLoS ONE, 2022 Cervids are economically important to a wide range of stakeholders and rights holders in the United States. The continued expansion of chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting wild and farmed cervids, poses a direct and ...

Cervid Prion Protein Polymorphisms: Role in Chronic Wasting Disease Pathogenesis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease found in both free-ranging and farmed cervids. Susceptibility of these animals to CWD is governed by various exogenous and endogenous factors.
