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... ![[PDF]](images/icons/pdf.gif "Adobe Reader File"){kind=icon} Chronic Wasting Disease Update - Report No. 95 Show Full Record 5397

Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Beginning of the 21st Century Show Full Record 1301
Source: Online Journal of Issues in Nursing [electronic resource]. 2006 Jan 31;11(1):2. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Disease transmission Emerging infectious diseases Marburg virus Monkeypox Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome West Nile virus Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases involves many interrelated factors. Global interconnectedness continues to increase with international travel and trade; economic, political, and cultural interactions; and human-to-human and animal-to-human interactions. These interactions include the accidental and deliberate sharing of microbial agents and antimicrobial resistance and allow the emergence of new and unrecognized microbial disease agents...

Prions in Skeletal Muscles of Deer with Chronic Wasting Disease Show Full Record 927
Source: Science. 2006 Jan 26; [Epub ahead of print] Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Diagnostic techniques & procedures Disease transmission Skeletal muscle Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): The emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) of deer and elk in an increasingly wide geographic area and the interspecies transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to humans in the form of variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (vCJD) have raised concerns about the zoonotic potential of CWD. Since meat consumption is the most likely means of exposure, it is of considerable importance to determine whether skeletal muscle of diseased cervids contains...
Sacred Cows and Sympathetic Squirrels: The Importance of Biological Diversity to Human Health Show Full Record 1550
Source: PLoS Medicine. 2006 Jun 6;3(6):e231 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Biodiversity Chronic wasting disease Disease transmission Human health Lyme disease Tick-borne encephalitis West Nile virus Wildlife diseases Zoonoses Abstract: From introduction (free full-text available): Recently, ecologists have uncovered several other ways in which species diversity can benefit human health. In this Essay, we describe how disease risk is influenced by biological diversity and, specifically, how some host species act to reduce the risk of transmission of virulent zoonotic pathogens to people. This represents an exciting area of study where ecologists, conservation planners, and physicians can work together to reduce disease risk and... Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease Show Full Record 5152
Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases. 2009 [Epub ahead of print] Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Disease transmission Laboratory animals Non-human primates Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids. We used 2 nonhuman primate species, cynomolgus macaques and squirrel monkeys, as human models for CWD susceptibility. CWD was inoculated into these 2 species by intracerebral and oral routes. After intracerebral inoculation of squirrel monkeys, 7 of 8 CWD isolat...
The Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies: Disease Risks for North America Show Full Record 269
Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice. 2002 Nov; 18: 461-473 Resource Type(s): Issue Overviews, Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Deer Disease transmission Epidemiology Humans North America Outbreaks Prevention & control Prion diseases Risk assessment Sheep Swine Veterinary medicine Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies exotic to North America (BSE and associated diseases) are unlikely to be introduced or to persist should they be introduced into the United States. Domestic TSEs (scrapie, CWD, and TME) seem to be relatively restricted in their host range, and none of these diseases is known to naturally cause disease in cattle. It is important that surveillance for TSEs continues, however, particularly in cattle because of the extre... |
