Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Emerging infectious diseases Human Influenza Influenza A Virus, H5N1Subtype Influenza in birds Outbreaks Public health Reassortant viruses Abstract: From abstract(online abstract only): Avian influenza virus H5N1, which has been limited to poultry, now has spread to migrating birds and has emerged in mammals and among the human population. It presents a distinct threat of a pandemic for which the World Health Organization and other organizations are making preparations. This article reviews information about the virus itself and its spread among poultry, migrating birds, mammals, and humans. ![[PDF]](images/icons/pdf.gif "Adobe Reader File"){kind=icon} Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy: An Unexplained Neurologic Disease [Fact Sheet] Show Full Record 1433
Source: National Wildlife Health Center (U.S.) Resource Type(s): Fact Sheets Searchable Keywords: Avian vacuolar myelinopathy History Pathology Abstract: Discusses the mysterious die-offs of birds, particularly bald eagles, coots and some waterfowl to a previously undetermined neurologic disease, now called avian vacuolar myelinopathy, which results in the myelin layers in the brain separating. The disease causes mental retardation, and inevitably death as it wreaks havoc on birds' nervous systems.
Chronic Wasting Disease Show Full Record 357
Source: Wyoming Wildlife. 1998; 62: 21-28 Resource Type(s): Issue Overviews, Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Prevention & control Risk assessment Wildlife diseases Abstract: (Free full-text version on-line): Good article for the non-scientist, easy to read with little technical jargon. Discusses historical background on the discovery of CWD and the disease causing prion. Other TSE diseases, scrapie, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, and BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) are also highlighted as they relate to CWD. Explores the questions that researches are still struggling to answer, such as what is a prion and how is CWD transmitted.
Chronic Wasting Disease of Deer and Elk: A Review with Recommendations for Management Show Full Record 324
Source: Journal of Wildlife Management. 2002; 66(3): 551-563 Resource Type(s): Issue Overviews, Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Modeling Wildlife management Abstract: From abstract:...Studies of the biology and natural history of CWD over the last few years have resulted in a better understanding of its pathogenesis and epidemiology. Early involvement of alimentary tract-associated lymphoid tissues during incubation suggests plausible routes for transmission via feces or saliva. Residual environment contamination also appears to be important in sustaining epidemics. Studies of CWD epidemiology led to development of models to help explain the history of CWD as... Chronic Wasting Disease Risk Analysis Workshop: An Integrative Approach Show Full Record 200

The objectives of the workshop included: 1) Identify and discuss the needs of various government and non-government groups involved in assessing, managing and/or preventing CWD, 2) Identify current gaps in CWD research specifically in relation to information applicable to the risk analysis process, and 3) Construct a general, consensual, framework model that incorporates al...
Chronic Wasting Disease Video from Wyoming Game and Fish Dept Show Full Record 2906
Source: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Resource Type(s): Audio Visual Materials Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Deer diseases Prion diseases Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy Abstract: The video provides an overview of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies and explains what researchers know about CWD. It describes the appearance and behaviors that are typical of animals having CWD, and illustrates how to collect the appropriate tissue samples needed for diagnosis of CWD. The documented distribution of deer and elk with CWD was increasing as this video was being made, and this program shows the distribution status through June 30, 2002. Includes an introduction by Ken Hadd... Chronic Wasting Disease: Implications and Challenges for Wildlife Managers Show Full Record 354
Source: Presented at Transactions of the Sixty-Seventh North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference: p 87-103 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease History Human health Prevention & control Risk assessment Wildlife management Abstract: From abstract (free full-text online): Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of deer (Odocoileus spp.) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni). Other TSEs include important diseases of domestic animals (scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy) and rare fatal diseases of humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease); the bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent apparently causes variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In rec...
