متن کاملChronic wasting disease of elk: transmissibility to humans examined by transgenic mouse models.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease affecting free-ranging and captive cervids (deer and elk), is widespread in the United States and parts of Canada. The large cervid population, the popularity of venison consumption, and the apparent spread of the CWD epidemic are likely resulting in increased human exposure to CWD in the United States. Whether CWD is transmissible to humans, as ha...
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 کاملChronic Wasting Disease
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a unique transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), white-tailed deer (O. virginianus), and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni). The natural history of CWD is incompletely understood, but it differs from scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) by virtue of its occurrence in nondomestic and free-ranging sp...
