Chronic wasting disease prions in mule deer interdigital glands.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a geographically expanding, fatal neurodegenerative disease in cervids. The disease can be transmitted directly (animal-animal) or indirectly via infectious prions shed into the environment.

Hunting strategies to increase detection of chronic wasting disease in cervids
Nature Communications, 2020 The successful mitigation of emerging wildlife diseases may involve controversial host culling. For livestock, ‘preemptive host culling’ is an accepted practice involving the removal of herds with known contact to infected populations.

Invariant algebraic surfaces of a chronic wasting disease model
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2021 In this paper we study a chronic wasting disease (CWD) model of three dimensional ordinary differential equations. We use the method of characteristic curves to give a complete classification of this system with invariant algebraic surfaces. In addition,

The impact of senescence on muscle wasting in chronic kidney disease
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022 Muscle wasting is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is associated with higher mortality. Although the mechanisms of myofibre loss in CKD has been widely studied, the contribution of muscle precursor cell (MPC) senescence remains ...

A prion disease of cervids: Chronic wasting disease [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2008 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of deer, elk, and moose, initially recognized in Colorado mule deer. The discovery of CWD beyond the borders of Colorado and Wyoming, in Canada and as far east as New York, has led to its emergence as a prion disease of international importance.

Prion seeding activity in DNA extractions: implications for laboratory biosafety
PrionInfectious prions (PrPSc) are largely resistant to proteolytic digestion, including proteinase K (PK) digestion. While nucleic acid extracts are generally considered non-infectious from a classical microbiology context (i.e.

Cellular interplay in skeletal muscle regeneration and wasting: insights from animal models
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023 Skeletal muscle wasting, whether related to physiological ageing, muscle disuse or to an underlying chronic disease, is a key determinant to quality of life and mortality.

Ecosphere, 2019 Infection patterns linked to age and sex are crucial to predict the population dynamic effects of diseases in long-lived species. How such demographic patterns of infection arise is often multifactorial, although the cause is commonly seen as a ...
