New chronic wasting disease rules enhance risks Pat Durkin column: Feb. 21, 2014 ATHENS, GA. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s new CWD certification program for captive elk and deer herds could hasten the disease’s spread, whether the animals are privately owned “livestock” inside fences or publicly owned resources living in the wild.
That’s what professor John Fischer of the University of Georgia told the 37th meeting of the Southeast Deer Study Group when the annual conference opened Monday morning. Fischer, a professor of animal-population health, is director of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine and the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study.
Elk breeders first asked for a federal program in 1998 to certify herds and set guidelines for interstate movements of captive elk and deer (cervids). Deer breeders joined the effort in 2002 after CWD was found in southwestern Wisconsin.
The USDA finally published its rules on an interim basis in July 2012. In 2013, the USDA revised the “program standards” for implementing the rules, released the standards for review in November, and is taking public comments on them until March 31.

Fischer summarized the revisions this way: They “increase the risk of CWD, they facilitate perpetuation of CWD in captive-cervid herds and the environment, and they increase the risk of CWD transmission from captive cervids to other captive herds, as well as to free-ranging wildlife.”
Fischer encouraged the approximately 400 private and public wildlife professionals and university researchers attending the SEDSG meeting to scrutinize the revised standards, talk to colleagues and submit comments before the deadline. (Page 2 of 3) “We need to get to work in exercising our political rights in trying to control the risks associated with ... CWD ... and with the captive-cervid industry,” Fischer said. “What’s at risk here is the health of our nation’s wildlife populations.”
Fischer said the captive-cervid industry viewed the 2012 rules with “great disfavor” when they were published, and persuaded the USDA to appoint a review panel to revise the program’s standards. Fischer was part of that review panel, along with state veterinarians, captive-cervid representatives, three state wildlife agency personnel, and staff from the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
CWD has been found in elk, deer and some moose in 22 states and two Canadian provinces, either in free-ranging herds or in private fenced facilities. The disease is well-established in Wisconsin, particularly west of Madison in Dane and Iowa counties. Testing during Wisconsin’s 2013 deer seasons again showed “steady climbs” in CWD prevalence in the state’s long-infected areas. It also found a new case in Adams County, and three more cases in Portage County, said Tom Hauge, the DNR’s director of wildlife management.
Fischer said the USDA’s revised program standards do not meet its goals to help states, tribes and the captive-cervid industry minimize risks of introduction, transmission and spread of CWD.
“In the revised version of the CWD program, nearly all of the guidelines, all the options that were more stringent, were deleted at the request of the captive-cervid industry; and more liberal guidelines were added that greatly increase risks,” Fischer said. (Page 3 of 3) For instance, to earn USDA certification as a low CWD risk, captive facilities must test all elk or deer older than age 1 when they die, and the monitoring must be done at least five years. But Fischer questions if five years of monitoring is enough.
In 2012, CWD was discovered in captive facilities in Iowa and Pennsylvania for the first time, and in a Minnesota facility holding red deer. The Minnesota facility had been monitoring for CWD for 12 years before one of its red deer tested positive, and the facilities in Iowa and Pennsylvania had been monitored for nine years each.
Fischer also worries that the guidelines allow owners to move animals from CWD-exposed herds or suspected herds to fenced “hunt facilities” and to quarantined herds within the state. Further, “approved states” can request to move animals from CWD-exposed and “suspect” herds to slaughter facilities, CWD-positive hunt facilities, or hunt facilities in CWD-endemic regions in other states.
Fischer said those guidelines contradict the USDA’s own standards. “The rule states that it ‘ensures captive cervids moved interstate are considered low risk for CWD,’ ” he said. “How are those animals at low risk for CWD when they’re coming from positive, suspect or exposed herds?”
The USDA justifies the transportation of possibly infected animals “for the purpose of selective culling and continuity of business.” In other words, rather than follow its preferred method of “depopulating” infected herds after compensating owners, the USDA will let owners find a shooter to kill and pay for the animal.
Fischer told conference attendees to not rely on the USDA to minimize disease risks for the captive-cervid industry or to help reduce CWD risks to free-ranging deer. “Ultimately,” he said, “you need to develop or enhance your state’s CWD control program to mitigate the risks of the captive cervids ... to a level you find acceptable.” http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20140221/GPG0204/302210389/Pat-Durkin-column-New-chronic-wasting-disease-rules-enhance-risks greetings, the following is not a stunt to scare folks. it is simply a fact. it happened. I simply did not want it to happen again, ...and again, and again. it still happens today, and the cases are mounting and becoming younger, and the cover up continues. now for the folks that think I am just a disgruntle loved one of a victim that just happened to die from a funked out twisted protein, that just happens in man and animal in the USA, spontaneously, sporadically, without cause, think again. for those that think I am just angry, and make this stuff up, think again. for those that think the USA or any Country, could not cover up something so big, something so bad, that they let the deliberate, what I call and have called, corporate homicide, for they all knew, THEY ALL KNEW, AND THEY STILL KNOW TODAY, but yet they knew in the early 1900s, now this is just an example I give to you all, an industry and a country that knew for 100 years their products were killing people, yet for 100 years to today, those products are still sold, folks, I give you the BIG TOBACCO AND ASBESTOS. now about those TSE mad cow/sheep, goat/deer,elk/, yes, you better think again.
BIG AG is simply to big to fail. even if the big ag USDA hung the cervid industry out to dry on the TSE prion disease long, long, ago, they know they cannot put the mad cow genie back in the bottle, as we saw so well done with the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Minimal Risk Region i.e. the BSE MRR policy take effect, only after that fateful day December 23, 2003, when the USA had to document their first mad cow, only until that day, what I call, THE DAY THE BSE SCIENCE CHANGED, when the mad cow shoe was on the other foot, from that day forward, it was O.K. to have mad cow disease. no problem. the USDA changed sound science that day, from the BSE GBR risk assessments, to the BSE MRR policy, of the legal trading of the mad cow disease GLOBALLY. YES, this is what is happening with the cervid industry today...you all better think again.
folks, you are seeing that happen now with your cervid industry. they can’t fix it, they can’t stop it, so, the next best thing is to ignore it and start trading it. problem solved. ...until the incubation catches up, from strain mutation. and it will, yes, you all better think again.
does this really surprise anyone here. myself and others have been screaming this for more than a decade. as we speak, rules and regulations for CWD are being undermined by the captive pen industry, if not outright, but just what this article states, but if shooting pens can’t get legislators and the people there from on their side, can’t change the CWD rules outright, they then will lobby to have _all_ rules and regulations changed by what I call ‘THE GOVERNOR’. an override button that the high office of the state, i.e. the senate and the house of representatives. we all know how well they get along, and how well they work together, and we all want a bunch of politicians, legislators, and lobbyist there from, we all want them making the states _scientific_ decisions and policy making there from, right $ I am telling you folks, hunters, and the folks that love the wild, no matter what side your on politically, forget all that for one moment, folks there is a move from state to state, to take your rights away, take away your rights to speak, comment on, and be heard, be a part of that policy making, there is a move to take all that away from you. you got to wake up folks, all the USDA is about is TRADE and MONEY, nothing else matters people, on my mothers grave, what I have witnessed in the mad cow debacle since that day Demember 14, 1997, from that day forward...did I tell you my mother levitated in be like linda blair did in that movie the exorsist, where she did everything but spin her head 360 degrees, it took 3 strong adults to hold her down at times, while she screams, God why can’t I stop this. 10 weeks later she was dead. hvCJD confirmed. on everything I have done since that day, to try and warn about the mad cow disease, the mad deer and elk disease, the mad sheep and goat disease, the many different Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy TSE disease, and they are still mounting in strains and phenotypes today, ON ALL THIS, I TELL YOU YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY AS WE SPEAK. if the shooting pens cannot change the laws to help outright at the game farm level, then they will go higher, and change the way the state makes the laws, OR NOT. here is a fine example ; Section B.

Example from one state ;
Regulatory transparency is the essence of the Division of Administrative Rules' mission. The Division is the statutory publisher of proposed and effective Utah administrative rules. An administrative rule is an agency's written statement that has the effect of law. Agencies write administrative rules to implement or interpret state or federal legal mandates. Administrative rules affect your life in many ways. Utah's rulemaking process creates opportunities for you to participate -- to be engaged -- in the development of administrative rules. Links available from this site will give you access to administrative rules currently in effect, as well as administrative rules proposed and open for public comment.

STATE BIOLOGIST ARE YOUR BEST CHANCE AT STOPPING ANY DISEASE, not the Legislative Branch of any state, where each one has a half dozen lobbyist in each pocket. I have said this many times, when the USDA et al comes in and takes over DNR, the state looses, the hunters loose, big ag laughs all the way to the bank. that’s all this is, BIG AG. ...tss EXAMPLE
also, see where even decades back, the USDA had the same thought as they do today with CWD, not their problem...see page 27 below as well, where USDA stated back then, the same thing they stated in the state of Pennsylvania, not their damn business, once they escape, and they said the same thing about CWD in general back then ; ”The occurrence of CWD must be viewed against the contest of the locations in which it occurred.

After a natural route of exposure, 100% of WTD were susceptible to scrapie. Deer developed clinical signs of wasting and mental depression and were necropsied from 28 to 33 months PI. Tissues from these deer were positive for PrPSc by IHC and WB. Similar to IC inoculated deer, samples from these deer exhibited two different molecular profiles: samples from obex resembled CWD whereas those from cerebrum were similar to the original scrapie inoculum. On further examination by WB using a panel of antibodies, the tissues from deer with scrapie exhibit properties differing from tissues either from sheep with scrapie or WTD with CWD. Samples from WTD with CWD or sheep with scrapie are strongly immunoreactive when probed with mAb P4, however, samples from WTD with scrapie are only weakly immunoreactive. In contrast, when probed with mAb’s 6H4 or SAF 84, samples from sheep with scrapie and WTD with CWD are weakly immunoreactive and samples from WTD with scrapie are strongly positive. This work demonstrates that WTD are highly susceptible to sheep scrapie, but on first passage, scrapie in WTD is differentiable from CWD. http://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/prion/03-Prion6-2-Transmission-and-strains.pdf 2011 *** After a natural route of exposure, 100% of white-tailed deer were susceptible to scrapie. http://www.usaha.org/Portals/6/Reports/2011/report-cwal-2011.pdf Scrapie in Deer: Comparisons and Contrasts to Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Justin J.

Deer developed clinical signs of wasting and mental depression and were necropsied from 28 to 33 months PI. Tissues from these deer were positive for scrapie by IHC and WB. Tissues with PrPSc immunoreactivity included brain, tonsil, retropharyngeal and mesenteric lymph nodes, hemal node, Peyer’s patches, and spleen. While two WB patterns have been detected in brain regions of deer inoculated by the natural route, unlike the IC inoculated deer, the pattern similar to the scrapie inoculum predominates. http://www.usaha.org/Portals/6/Reports/2011/report-cwal-2011.pdf 2011 Annual Report Research Project: TRANSMISSION, DIFFERENTIATION, AND PATHOBIOLOGY OF TRANSMISSIBLE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHIES Location: Virus and Prion Research Unit 2011 Annual Report In Objective 1, Assess cross-species transmissibility of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in livestock and wildlife, numerous experiments assessing the susceptibility of various TSEs in different host species were conducted. Most notable is deer inoculated with scrapie, which exhibits similarities to chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer suggestive of sheep scrapie as an origin of CWD. snip... 4.Accomplishments 1. Deer inoculated with domestic isolates of sheep scrapie. Scrapie-affected deer exhibit 2 different patterns of disease associated prion protein. In some regions of the brain the pattern is much like that observed for scrapie, while in others it is more like chronic wasting disease (CWD), the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy typically associated with deer. This work conducted by ARS scientists at the National Animal Disease Center, Ames, IA suggests that an interspecies transmission of sheep scrapie to deer may have been the origin of CWD. This is important for husbandry practices with both captive deer, elk and sheep for farmers and ranchers attempting to keep their herds and flocks free of CWD and scrapie. http://ars.usda.gov/research/projects/projects.htm?ACCN_NO=411467&showpars=true&fy=2011 White-tailed Deer are Susceptible to Scrapie by Natural Route of Infection snip...

In-depth analysis of tissues will be done to determine similarities between scrapie in deer after intracranial and oral/intranasal inoculation and chronic wasting disease resulting from similar routes of inoculation. see full text ; http://www.usaha.org/Portals/6/Reports/2010/report-cwal-2010.pdf *** 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. http://cdmrp.army.mil/prevfunded/nprp/NPRP_Summit_Final_Report.pdf The chances of a person or domestic animal contracting CWD are “extremely remote,” Richards said. The possibility can’t be ruled out, however. “One could look at it like a game of chance,” he explained. “The odds (of infection) increase over time because of repeated exposure. That’s one of the downsides of having CWD in free-ranging herds: We’ve got this infectious agent out there that we can never say never to in terms of (infecting) people and domestic livestock.” https://www.avma.org/News/JAVMANews/Pages/121201a.aspx P35

Despite efficient horizontal transmission of CWD among cervids natural transmission of the disease to other species has not yet been observed. Here, we report a direct biochemical demonstration of pathological prion protein PrPTSE and of PrPTSE-associated seeding activity in skeletal muscles of CWD-infected cervids. The presence of PrPTSE was detected by Western- and postfixed frozen tissue blotting, while the seeding activity of PrPTSE was revealed by protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA). The concentration of PrPTSE in skeletal muscles of CWD-infected WTD was estimated to be approximately 2000- to 10000-fold lower than in brain tissue. Tissue-blot-analyses revealed that PrPTSE was located in muscle- associated nerve fascicles but not, in detectable amounts, in myocytes. The presence and seeding activity of PrPTSE in skeletal muscle from CWD-infected cervids suggests prevention of such tissue in the human diet as a precautionary measure for food safety, pending on further clarification of whether CWD may be transmissible to humans. http://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/prion/Prion5-Supp-PrionEnvironment.pdf?nocache=1333529975 "CWD has been transmitted to cattle after intracerebral inoculation, although the infection rate was low (4 of 13 animals [Hamir et al. 2001]). This finding raised concerns that CWD prions might be transmitted to cattle grazing in contaminated pastures." Please see ; Within 26 months post inoculation, 12 inoculated animals had lost weight, revealed abnormal clinical signs, and were euthanatized. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of a unique pattern of the disease agent in tissues of these animals. These findings demonstrate that when CWD is directly inoculated into the brain of cattle, 86% of inoculated cattle develop clinical signs of the disease. http://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?seq_no_115=194089 "although the infection rate was low (4 of 13 animals [Hamir et al. 2001])." shouldn't this be corrected, 86% is NOT a low rate. ... kindest regards, Terry S.

COLBY, PRUSINER ET AL, ABOUT MY CONCERNS OF THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THEIR FIGURES AND MY FIGURES OF THE STUDIES ON CWD TRANSMISSION TO CATTLE ; ----- Original Message ----- From: David Colby To: flounder9@verizon.net Cc: stanley@XXXXXXXX Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 8:25 AM Subject: Re: FW: re-Prions David W. Colby1,* and Stanley B. Prusiner1,2 + Author Affiliations Dear Terry Singeltary, Thank you for your correspondence regarding the review article Stanley Prusiner and I recently wrote for Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives. Dr. Prusiner asked that I reply to your message due to his busy schedule. We agree that the transmission of CWD prions to beef livestock would be a troubling development and assessing that risk is important. In our article, we cite a peer-reviewed publication reporting confirmed cases of laboratory transmission based on stringent criteria. The less stringent criteria for transmission described in the abstract you refer to lead to the discrepancy between your numbers and ours and thus the interpretation of the transmission rate. We stand by our assessment of the literature--namely that the transmission rate of CWD to bovines appears relatively low, but we recognize that even a low transmission rate could have important implications for public health and we thank you for bringing attention to this matter.

That assumption would be wrong. I encourage you to read the whole article and call me if you have questions or need more clarification (phone: 404-639-3091). Also, we do not claim that "no-one has ever been infected with prion disease from eating venison." Our conclusion stating that we found no strong evidence of CWD transmission to humans in the article you quoted or in any other forum is limited to the patients we investigated.

our results raise the possibility that CJD cases classified as VV1 may include cases caused by iatrogenic transmission of sCJD-MM1 prions or food-borne infection by type 1 prions from animals, e.g., chronic wasting disease prions in cervid. In fact, two CJD-VV1 patients who hunted deer or consumed venison have been reported (40, 41).

Stereotactic multicontact electrodes used to probe the cerebral cortex of a middle aged woman with progressive dementia were previously implicated in the accidental transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) to two younger patients. The diagnoses of CJD have been confirmed for all three cases. More than two years after their last use in humans, after three cleanings and repeated sterilisation in ethanol and formaldehyde vapour, the electrodes were implanted in the cortex of a chimpanzee. Eighteen months later the animal became ill with CJD. This finding serves to re-emphasise the potential danger posed by reuse of instruments contaminated with the agents of spongiform encephalopathies, even after scrupulous attempts to clean them.
