A Systematic Analytic Approach to Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Planning Show Full Record 1855
Source: PLoS Medicine. 2005 Dec;2(12):e359. Epub 2005 Nov 1. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Photographs, Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disaster planning Humans Israel Models Outbreaks Thailand World health Abstract: From article (free full-text available): The prospect of a pandemic with avian influenza is an urgent concern for public health leaders worldwide. As pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) strains continue to spread in East Asia, with recently reported expansion to Siberia and westward regions in Russia as well as to migratory birds, the risk for reassortment of avian and human strains increases. Evidence cited by the World Health Organization in May 2005 suggests that H5N1 may be adapting to human...
Chronic wasting disease in a Rocky Mountain elk Show Full Record 359

The clinical, gross necropsy, histological findings are highlighted. In addition, the author outlines known generalities about the disease, including clinical symptoms and common hematological, biochemical and histological abnormalities.
Chronic wasting disease in deer and elk: a critique of current models and their application Show Full Record 386
Source: Wildlife Society Bulletin. 2003; 31(3): 610-616 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Models Wildlife diseases Abstract: (No on-line abstract available): Evaluates the current mathematical model of CWD epizootiology. Using theoretical and empirical arguments, the authors find little support for the current CWD prediction model and suggest that alternative models should be considered.
Chronic Wasting Disease in Mule Deer: Disease Dynamics and Control Show Full Record 271
Source: Journal of Wildlife Management. 2001; 65 (2): 205-215 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Age factors Chronic wasting disease Colorado Immunohistochemistry Models Tonsils Wildlife management Abstract: From abstract: An individual-based, epidemic model of CWD in mule deer which will serve as the basis for a full spatial model to evaluate large-scale control measures for limiting the distribution of disease in free ranging populations. The model is based on observations taken of cervids infected with CWD in research facilities and in the wild. The conclusion is the route of disease transmission is most likely a lateral transmission, with the CWD agent presumably being shed in saliva, feces, u...
CWD crisis expands Show Full Record 352

Efforts made by various conservation organizations are also mentioned.
Detection of Bias in Harvest-based Estimates of Chronic Wasting Disease Prevalence in Mule Deer Show Full Record 273
Source: Journal of Wildlife Diseases. 2000; 36 (4):691-699 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Age factors Chronic wasting disease Colorado Comparative studies Deer Epidemiology Immunohistochemistry Medulla oblongata Models Pathology Prevalence Sex factors Veterinary medicine Wildlife management Wyoming Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): Diseased animals may exhibit behavioral shifts that increase or decrease their probability of being randomly sampled. In harvest-based sampling approaches, animal movements, changes in habitat utilization, changes in breeding behaviors during harvest periods, or differential susceptibility to harvest via behaviors like hiding or decreased sensitivity to stimuli may result in a non-random sample that biases prevalence estimates. We present a method that c...
Dynamics of Prion Disease Transmission in Mule Deer Show Full Record 1945
Source: Ecological Applications. 2006 Dec;16(6):2208-14. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease transmission Epidemiology Models Population dynamics Abstract: From abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a contagious prion disease of the deer family, has the potential to severely harm deer populations and disrupt ecosystems where deer occur in abundance. Consequently, understanding the dynamics of this emerging infectious disease, and particularly the dynamics of its transmission, has emerged as an important challenge for contemporary ecologists and wildlife managers. Although CWD is contagious among deer, the relative importance of pathways for its ... ![[MAP]](images/icons/map.gif "Map File"){kind=icon} Epizootiology of Chronic Wasting Disease in Free-ranging Cervids in Colorado and Wyoming Show Full Record 272

We used clinical case submissions to identify endemic areas, then used immunohistochemistry to detect CWD-infected i...
Experimental Inoculation of Scrapie and Chronic Wasting Disease Agents in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) Show Full Record 382
Source: Veterinary Record. 2003 Jul 26; 153 (4 ): 121-123 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Brain Chronic wasting disease Disease transmission Microbiology Models Pathology Prion protein Raccoons Scrapie Veterinary medicine Wildlife diseases Abstract: From summary: To determine the transmissibility of scrapie and chronic wasting disease (CWD) agents to raccoons, 4 raccoon kits were inoculated intracerebrally with brain suspension from sheep with scrapie and 4 other kits were similarly inoculated with brain suspension from mule deer with CWD. Two uninoculated kits served as controls. In the scrapie-inoculated group, 3 animals became sick and were euthanized between 18 and 22 months after inoculation (PI). Although the fourth raccoon in this gr...
Human Land Use Influences Chronic Wasting Disease Prevalence in Mule Deer Show Full Record 241
Source: Ecological Applications. 2005 February; 15(1): 119-126 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Epidemiology Land use Landscape alteration Models Prevalence Sex factors Urbanization Abstract: From abstract: Human alteration of landscapes can affect the distribution, abundance, and behavior of wildlife. We explored the effects of human land use on the prevalence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations residing in north-central Colorado. We chose best approximating models estimating CWD prevalence in relation to differences in human land use, sex, and geographic location. Prevalence was higher in developed areas and among male deer, suggesting an... |
