Alterations in gut microbiota linked to provenance, sex, and chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer ( <i>Odocoileus virginianus</i> )

2021-01-11

Abstract excerpt

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, contagious, neurodegenerative prion disease affecting both free-ranging and captive cervid species. CWD is spread via direct or indirect contact or oral ingestion of prions. In the gastrointestinal tract, prions enter the body through microfold cells (M-cells), and the abundance of these cells can be influenced by the gut microbiota. To explore potential links between the...
