Additionally, besides contracting the disease from other deer, the animals can become infected from the environment itself as the chronic wasting d

Chronic wasting disease is a contagious disease caused by abnormal prions. It is found in deer, elk and other cervids.

Meyer also said that there needs to be more research on the uptake of CWD prions by plants and the potential spread of the disease by plants shippe

A mutant protein has been isolated from sheep suffering from a prion disease called scrapie.

It's not clear how the deer became infected, but CWD is transmitted by prions that can remain viable in the environment for years.

I heard the word “hoof” and couldn’t help but think of Mad Cow Disease, and my mind was flooded with images of biohazard suits, international boyco

Once in a host's body, prions transform normal cellular protein into abnormal shapes that accumulate until the cell ceases to function.

The DNR requests that the carcass not be simply thrown out into the woods, as that carcass would contain infected CWD prions and disposing of it im

Once in a host’s body, prions transform normal cellular protein into abnormal shapes that accumulate until the cell ceases to function.

While most wildlife diseases are caused by bacteria or a virus, CWD is spread through mutated proteins called prions.

The always-fatal disease is transmitted by protein molecules called prions that degrade the nervous systems of deer, causing them to lose weight, c

This makes it much harder to determine the efficacy of a potential drug or vaccine.

CWD is similar to mad cow disease as it is transmitted with prions, proteins that disrupt the central nervous system.

Officers found narcotics pasted into the seals of numerous envelopes, addressed to prisoners at Mobilong, Port Lincoln and Port Augusta prisons.
