White-tailed Deer from 3F2 Tests Positive for CWD Monday, January 6, 2014 A
second deer taken from unit 3F2 during the 2013 deer gun season has tested
positive for chronic wasting disease.
A hunter shot the adult whitetail buck in western Grant County and
submitted the head for testing as part of the hunter-harvested surveillance
program. Testing was performed at Michigan State University, and verification of
initial tests results are pending from a national lab in Ames, Iowa. In
addition, results from the remaining 3F2 samples, as well as all samples from
the eastern third of the state, should be known in another month.
This is the fifth deer to test positive for CWD since 2009, and all were
from the same general area within unit 3F2 in southwestern North Dakota.
The hunter-harvested surveillance program annually collects samples taken
from hunter-harvested deer in specific regions of the state. In addition to unit
3F2, samples during the 2013 deer gun season were collected from units in the
eastern third of the state.
CWD affects the nervous system of members of the deer family and is always
fatal. Scientists have found no evidence that CWD can be transmitted naturally
to humans or livestock.

Molecular Barriers to Zoonotic Transmission of Prions
*** chronic wasting disease, there was no absolute barrier to conversion of
the human prion protein.
*** Furthermore, the form of human PrPres produced in this in vitro assay
when seeded with CWD, resembles that found in the most common human prion
disease, namely sCJD of the MM1 subtype.
*** The potential impact of prion diseases on human health was greatly
magnified by the recognition that interspecies transfer of BSE to humans by beef
ingestion resulted in vCJD. While changes in animal feed constituents and
slaughter practices appear to have curtailed vCJD, there is concern that CWD of
free-ranging deer and elk in the U.S. might also cross the species barrier.
Thus, consuming venison could be a source of human prion disease. Whether BSE
and CWD represent interspecies scrapie transfer or are newly arisen prion
diseases is unknown. Therefore, the possibility of transmission of prion disease
through other food animals cannot be ruled out. There is evidence that vCJD can
be transmitted through blood transfusion. There is likely a pool of unknown size
of asymptomatic individuals infected with vCJD, and there may be asymptomatic
individuals infected with the CWD equivalent. These circumstances represent a
potential threat to blood, blood products, and plasma supplies.

WHAT about the sporadic CJD TSE proteins ?
WE now know that some cases of sporadic CJD are linked to atypical BSE and
atypical Scrapie, so why are not MORE concerned about the sporadic CJD, and all
it’s sub-types $$$
