The demographic pattern of infection with chronic wasting disease in reindeer at an early epidemic stage
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2931
Abstract: Infection patterns linked to age and sex are crucial to predict the population dynamic effects of diseases in long-lived species. How such demographic patterns of infection arise is often multifactorial, although the cause is commonly… read more here.

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Wildlife Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/wlb3.01255
Abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016.… read more here.

Hunter perceptions toward chronic wasting disease: Implications for harvest and management
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Wildlife Society Bulletin"
DOI: 10.1002/wsb.761
Abstract: Previous human dimension research has reported negative perceptions among hunters toward Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and disease-related regulations that may limit hunter participation, reduce harvest, and generally complicate management. During 2013, we surveyed 1,524 Maryland,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10482-020-01483-6
Abstract: A number of different Chlamydia spp. have been detected in the class Amphibia with C. pneumoniae being the predominant species involved. Chlamydiae have been linked to mass mortality events, thereby representing significant pathogens that deserve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11538-025-01456-8
Abstract: Thresholds in environmental transmission can significantly alter the dynamics of disease spread in wildlife. However, the impact of thresholds in landscapes with high spatial variability is not well understood. We investigate this phenomenon in chronic… read more here.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Cervids and the Consequences of a Mutable Protein Conformation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "ACS Omega"
DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c00155
Abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It spreads readily from CWD-contaminated environments and among wild cervids. As of 2022, North American CWD has been found in 29… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-18229-7
Abstract: The successful mitigation of emerging wildlife diseases may involve controversial host culling. For livestock, ‘preemptive host culling’ is an accepted practice involving the removal of herds with known contact to infected populations. When applied to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-11235-8
Abstract: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is the most contagious prion disease. It is expanding rapidly in North America, was found recently in Europe, and the potential for transmission to humans cannot be excluded yet. We hypothesized… read more here.
