Chronic Wasting Disease Agents in Nonhuman Primates
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. We found that 100% of intracerebrally inoculated and 92% of orally inoculated squirrel monkeys were susceptible, but cynomolgus macaques were not, suggesting possible low risk for humans.
متن کاملSusceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease
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. We used 2 nonhuman primate species, cynomolgus macaques and squirrel monkeys, as human models for CWD susceptibility. CWD was inoculated into these 2 species by intracerebral...
متن کاملChronic Wasting Disease
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a neurodegenerative disease, caused by a prion that affects cervids including deer, elk and moose. Until recently, CWD was an obscure illness that seemed to be found only in a small geographic area in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming. However, this disease has now been detected in wild and farmed cervids in many other U.S. states and Canada. Korea ...

متن کاملProperty in nonhuman primates.
Property is rare in most nonhuman primates, most likely because their lifestyles are not conducive to it. Nonetheless, just because these species do not frequently maintain property does not mean that they lack the propensity to do so. Primates show respect for possession, as well as behaviors related to property, such as irrational decision making regarding property (e.g., the endowment effect...
