A Retrospective Study of the Causes of Morbidity and Mortality in Farmed Elk (Cervus elaphus) Show Full Record 1250
Source: Canadian Veterinary Journal. 2005 Dec;46(12):1108-13, 1120-1. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Canada Chronic wasting disease Deer Epidemiology Laboratories Morbidity Mortality Retrospective studies Statistics & numerical data Wounds & injuries Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): A survey of North American farmed elk (Cervus elaphus) producers was performed to determine the causes of sickness and mortality in farmed elk and to estimate mortality rates. Records over a 10-year period from 8 North American veterinary diagnostic pathology laboratories were also examined and summarized. The primary diagnosis for each record was used to classify diseases into categories such as parasitic, infectious, toxicological, and neoplastic. Nons...
A Short Review of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, and Guidelines for Managing Risks Associated with Chronic Wasting disease in Captive Cervids in Zoos [Review] Show Full Record 379
Source: Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine. 2003; 34(2): 125-133 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Artiodactyla Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease transmission Epidemiology Humans Kuru Prevention & control Prion diseases Risk factors Scrapie Therapy Zoo Animals Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) represent an emerging group of diseases that have been labeled as 'prion diseases' because of the recent characterization of the infectious agent. TSEs are caused by prions, which induce neurodegenerative fatal diseases in humans and animals. Some TSEs (scrapie and kuru), have existed in both animals and humans for a very long time, whereas others such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutz...
Additional Cases of Chronic Wasting Disease in Imported Deer in Korea Show Full Record 536

CWD distribution, through surveillance and epidemiologic investigations, was reported for 93 deer (43 from the CWD originating farm and 50 imported with the CWD originating farm's deer) out of 144 deer (72 from the CWD originating farm and 72 imported with the CWD originating farm's...
Animal Models of Unconventional Slow Virus Infections Show Full Record 313

The prion diseases scrapie, Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, transmissible mink encephalopathy are all highlighted along with a brief description of chronic wasting disease.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, chronic wasting disease, scrapie, and the threat to humans from prion disease epizootics. Show Full Record 370

The topics covered in the articles are basic biology of prions, interspecies transmission, animal diseases (CWD, BSE and scrapie), Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), and potential transmission of scrapie to humans. While BSE has proven to be a threat to humans in the form of vCJD, the article concludes that... ![[MAP]](images/icons/map.gif "Map File"){kind=icon} Chronic Wasting Disease - Sampling Status Interactive Map Show Full Record 6199
Source: Wisconsin. Department of Natural Resources Resource Type(s): Maps Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Epidemiology Sampling Wisconsin Abstract: The Wisconsin Dept of Natural Resources provides the most current information available for Wisconsin's chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance efforts. Updates to CWD sampling data are done as data becomes available. Using the different mapping options, users can overlay different map layers, such as landcover, roads, and recreational trails, over the CWD sampling data.
Chronic Wasting Disease [Review] Show Full Record 538
Source: Veterinary Pathology. 2005 Sep;42(5):530-49. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Diagnosis Disease transmission Epidemiology Physiopathology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): 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 species. CWD has many features in common with scrapie, including ea... Chronic Wasting Disease and Potential Transmission to Humans Show Full Record 191
Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2004 Jun;10(6):977-84 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles), Maps Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease reservoirs Disease transmission Epidemiology Humans Outbreaks United States Veterinary medicine Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of deer and elk is endemic in a tri-corner area of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, and new foci of CWD have been detected in other parts of the United States. Although detection in some areas may be related to increased surveillance, introduction of CWD due to translocation or natural migration of animals may account for some new foci of infection. Increasing spread of CWD has raised concerns about the potential for increasing human exposure to the C...

Wildlife Disease Information Node Resource Type(s): Databases and Information Systems, Datasets, Internet Map Services Searchable Keywords: Deer Epidemiology Geographic information systems Surveillance (monitoring) Abstract: From web site: The Chronic Wasting Disease Data Clearinghouse (CWDDC) is a collaboration of state, federal and tribal agencies interested in examining the occurence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) on a regional and national basis. This site has been established as a data management tool for CWD testing results, either through direct data entry, or transfer from agency files. Along with reporting and browsing mechanisms, the system also offers the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for ... |
