Conformational diversity in purified prions produced in vitro

Daniel J. J. Walsh et al.

Summary: Prion diseases are caused by misfolding of the prion protein, resulting in self-propagating misfolded conformers. Both wild-type and mutant prions exhibit conformational diversity in vivo, but this diversity is not observed in vitro using current techniques. This study introduces continuous shaking as a new method to generate conformationally diverse purified prions in vitro.

Transmission, Strain Diversity, and Zoonotic Potential of Chronic Wasting Disease

Sandra Pritzkow

Summary: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects multiple species of cervids, and its uncontrolled spread in North America in the last few decades has posed risks to the environment, animals, and potentially humans. This review discusses the mechanisms and routes of CWD transmission, strain diversity, spillover and zoonotic potential, as well as strategies to minimize the threat of CWD.

Alternating anti-prion regimens reduce combination drug resistance but do not further extend survival in scrapie-infected mice

Kathryn S. Beauchemin et al.

Summary: Alternating regimens using different classes of anti-prion drugs reduce the incidence of drug-resistant strains but do not significantly increase long-term disease-free survival in scrapie-infected mice. The emergence of strain dominance may be induced by alternating regimens.

Efficient interspecies transmission of synthetic prions

Alyssa J. Block et al.

Summary: Murine synthetic prions can efficiently establish infection in hamsters and quickly adapt, showing similar clinical and biochemical properties to known prion strains. This model could be valuable for exploring the structure-function relationships between PrPSc and PrP(C) from different species.

Chronic wasting disease in Europe: new strains on the horizon

Michael Andreas Tranulis et al.

Summary: Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolded prions, which can be transmitted directly or indirectly. CWD cases have been found in deer and elk, and have emerged in Norway and other Nordic countries, posing a threat to European cervid populations.

Chronic wasting disease: a cervid prion infection looming to spillover

Alicia Otero et al.

Summary: The spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) has affected cervid populations in North America over the past six decades, and poses a threat to wild and captive cervids on other continents as well. The complexity of CWD hot zones, influenced by cervid PRNP genetics, infection biology, prion strain diversity, and environmental persistence, hinders efforts to eradicate the disease. Studying various aspects of CWD transmission, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and interspecies infection assessment could help identify control points to reduce exposure for humans and livestock, and limit CWD transmission among cervids.
