White-Tailed Deer Prion Protein Gene Variability Suggests Selection Against Chronic Wasting Disease in Canada’s Prairies Open
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that targets cervids, has become a significant threat to both free-ranging and captive populations of Canadian white-tailed deer. In an effort to mitigate its spread,…

Biodegradation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions in compost Open
To reduce the transmission risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions (PrP BSE ), specified risk materials (SRM) that can harbour PrP BSE are prevented from entering the feed and food chains. As composting is one approach to disposing…

Large‐scale prion protein genotyping in Canadian caribou populations and potential impact on chronic wasting disease susceptibility Open
Polymorphisms within the prion protein gene ( Prnp ) are an intrinsic factor that can modulate chronic wasting disease (CWD) pathogenesis in cervids. Although wild European reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus ) were infected with CWD, as…

Chronic wasting disease is a prion disease affecting both free-ranging and farmed cervids in North America and Scandinavia. A range of cervid species have been found to be susceptible, each with variations in the gene for the normal prion …
