The spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) during the last six decades has resulted in
cervid populations of North America where CWD has become enzootic. This insidious …

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 …

CWD is an emergent prion disease that now affects cervid species on three continents. CWD
is efficiently spread in wild and captive populations, likely through both direct animal contact …

Efforts to contain the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal, contagious prion
disease of cervids, would be aided by the availability of additional diagnostic tools. RT-QuIC …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease of wild and captive cervids in North
America. Prions are infectious agents composed of a misfolded version of a host-encoded …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease of cervids caused by a
misfolded protein with no vaccines or other cures to prevent infection and death. In the past …

Among prion infections, two scenarios of prion spread are generally observed:(i) early
lymphoid tissue replication or (ii) direct neuroinvasion without substantial antecedent …

The minimum infectious dose required to induce CWD infection in cervids remains unknown,
as does whether peripherally shed prions and/or multiple low dose exposures are important …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible prion disorder, primarily affecting free-
ranging and captive cervids in North America (United States and Canada), South Korea, and …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a relatively new and burgeoning prion epidemic of deer,
elk, reindeer, and moose, which are members of the cervid family. While the disease was …
