Second passage experiments of chronic wasting disease in transgenic mice overexpressing human prion protein

Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids including deer, elk, reindeer, and moose. Human consumption of cervids is common, therefore assessing the risk potential of CWD transmission to humans is critical. In a previous study, we tested CWD transmission via intracerebral i...
