Is There a Breach in the Barrier Protecting Humans from Cervid Chronic Wasting Disease? | mBio
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion-derived disease causing lethal spongiform encephalopathy in cervids like deer, elk, moose, and reindeer (1). It is similar to other zoonotic spongiform encephalopathies that are deadly to humans such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, and holds potential for lethal spillover into human populations (2). Concern regarding potential spillover into humans is increasing as CWD is rapidly spreading across wild cervid populations in North America, cervids that are consumed by millions of hunters (3). In a recent mBio Opinion/Hypothesis piece, Osterholm et al. (2) reviewed the state of the science of CWD and offered precautionary guidelines for its management to reduce risks of spillover. The precautionary guidelines proposed are warranted. However, the article relied on unpublished data to conclude that CWD may transmit to human-like primates. This conclusion could have massive ramifications for human health, hunter behavior, wildlife management, and local economies over large regions of North America (3, 4), as it suggests greater potential for CWD to breach the cervid-human barrier. Yet, there is no published evidence for CWD transmission to human-like primates at this time.

Wildfires are disturbance, they lead to change. Given climate change, it is likely that we will find in ten years will be different. We know that grazing has its place, beavers have their place. What is likely to work best? What is the best cocktail??
There are rumours about Hamas disarming.. HOWEVER, Hamas was never the underlying problem
It would be good to refer to Mr President consequently as "the leader of the Republican Party". He lives on getting his name mentioned, they are the ones that lead to the slaughter, have to take responsibility.
In Spain and Portugal grazers, horses, cattle have been given free roam to keep the grasses and undergrowth in check to prevent the brutal carnage as we witness.. How effective have they been and, how are they ?
"only in America!!" eh keep it that way, I am better off that way

Het zijn inmiddels steeds onopvallender stukjes, op pagina zoveel van de krant. Eigenlijk geen nieuws meer, laat staan voorpaginawaardig. Precies zoals Netanyahu en Trump het wensen: dat de wereld het lot van de Palestijnen langzaam maar zeker vergeet.

Joanna Bryson@j2bryson.bsky.social · last yr.One thing I learned last week was that if you don’t count the BS market capitalisation bubble of 7 “AI” firms, the US economy as measured by the s&p 500 didn’t go up 13% last year; it went down 7%. The EU may be a larger economy already. We need to get our own O2 mask on, then start helping others.
