Rapid Antemortem Detection of CWD Prions in Deer Saliva

TL;DR: The modified RT-QuIC analysis described represents a non-invasive, rapid ante-mortem detection of prions in complex biologic fluids, excreta, or environmental samples as a tool for exploring prion trafficking, peripheralization, and dissemination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of prion infectivity in tissues and body fluids by real-time quaking-induced conversion.

TL;DR: Samples from deer infected with chronic wasting disease in RT-QuIC were used to show that serial dilution of prion seed was linearly related to the rate of amyloid formation over a range of 10(-3) to 10(-8) µg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal detection of prion shedding in saliva and urine by chronic wasting disease-infected deer by real-time quaking-induced conversion.

TL;DR: An in vitro amplification assay is used to show that infectious doses of CWD prions are in fact shed throughout the multiyear disease course in deer, an important advance in assessing the risks posed by shed C WD prions to animals as well as humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerosol Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer

TL;DR: Aerosol transmission of CWD to deer with a prion dose >20-fold lower than that used in previous oral inoculations is demonstrated to address the question in the native cervid host.
