Prions are misfolded infectious proteins responsible for a group of fatal neurodegenerative
diseases termed transmissible spongiform encephalopathy or prion diseases. Chronic …

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 …

Background Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a rapidly spreading prion disorder affecting
various species of wild and captive cervids. The risk that CWD poses to cohabiting animals …

Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a Scientific Opinion: to revise the state
of knowledge about the differences between the chronic wasting disease (CWD) strains …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It
spreads readily from CWD-contaminated environments and among wild cervids. As of 2022 …

Prion diseases, such as scrapie, entail the accumulation of disease-specific prion protein
(PrP Sc) within the brain. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are crucial components of the pattern …

Prion diseases, including chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids, are fatal
neurodegenerative disorders caused by the misfolding of cellular prion proteins. CWD is …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting several species of captive and
free-ranging cervids. In the past few decades, CWD has been spreading uncontrollably …

In sheep, scrapie is a fatal neurologic disease that is caused by a misfolded protein called a
prion (designated PrP Sc). The normal cellular prion protein (PrP C) is encoded by an …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an infectious and fatal prion disease occurring in the
family Cervidae. To update the research community regarding the status quo of CWD …
