Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases comprise with different levels of contagiousness under natural conditions. The hypothesis has been raised that the chronic wasting disease (CWD) cases detected in Nordic moose ( Alces alces ) may be less contagious, not contagious between live animals field This study aims to investigate epidemiology CWD Norway, Sweden and Finland using surveillance data from 2016 2022. In total, 18 were moose. All positive for (PrP res detection...
Abstract Prion diseases are a group of neurodegenerative, transmissible, and fatal disorders that affect several animal species. They characterized by the conformational conversion cellular prion protein (PrP C ) into pathological Sc ). In 2016, chronic wasting disease (CWD) gained great importance at European level due to first detection in wild reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus Norway. The subsequent intensive CWD surveillance launched cervids resulted moose Alces alces ), with 11 cases Norway,...
We report the first detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Sweden, three old female moose (Alces alces). Prions (PrPCWD) were detected brain but not lymph nodes. The findings are similar to previously described CWD cases Norway, where a spontaneous origin is hypothesized.
