Article Synopsis
- Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting deer species, with outbreaks occurring in North America.
- Researchers conducted experiments on different rodent species to assess CWD transmission, finding that it was efficiently transmitted, especially among certain voles.
- The study challenges previous beliefs about genetic resistance to CWD in rodents and highlights the need for further research on how CWD might spread naturally among various wildlife.
