10. Juni 2024 · An outbreak of mad cow disease — another prion malady — after people consumed meat from infected cattle in the 1980s and 1990s helped put a spotlight on chronic wasting disease, Haigh says...
19. Juni 2024 · The mad cow epidemic and resulting vCJD (the variant form) outbreaks were ultimately contained by improved food safety practices. But CWD in deer, first discovered in the 1960s, has only become...
6. Juni 2024 · Chronic wasting disease, which slowly destroys the brains of deer and elk, is hard to detect, impossible to treat, and spreading across North America. Researchers are mounting new efforts to understand the deadly disease, amid concerns it could someday spill over to humans.
6. Juni 2024 · A study using human cerebral organoids found that chronic wasting disease (CWD) is unlikely to transmit from deer, elk, and moose to humans, reinforcing the strong species barrier observed in earlier research.
6. Juni 2024 · Some news stories on a recent study finding a strong chronic wasting disease (CWD) species barrier between cervids such as deer and humans have concluded that there is no risk of a zoonotic spillover of the fatal prion disease.
Vor 5 Tagen · Another prion protein-related disease, so-called mad cow disease, did make that transition, with lethal results of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. So far, however, evidence indicate humans have a strong biological barrier against CWD.
7. Juni 2024 · Unlike mad cow disease, CWD’s prion-based structure has proven to be far more virulent, at least between cervids (whitetail deer, mule deer, elk and moose).
