RT-QuIC amplification of CWD prions in winter ticks ( <i>Dermacentor albipictus</i> ) collected from North American elk ( <i>Cervus canadensis</i> ) in a CWD-endemic area

2021-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a progressive and fatal spongiform encephalopathy of deer and elk species, caused by a misfolded variant of the normal prion protein. Horizontal transmission of the misfolded CWD prion between animals is thought to occur through shedding in saliva and other forms of excreta. The role of blood in CWD transmission is less clear, though infectivity has been demonstrated in various blo...
