Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal contagious prion disease in cervids that is enzootic in some areas in North America. The disease has been found in deer, elk and moose in the USA and Canada, and in South Korea following the importation of infected animals. Here we report the first case of CWD in Europe, in a Norwegian free-ranging reindeer in Southern Norway. The origin of the disease is unknown. Until now a low number of cervids, and among them a few reindeer, have been tested for CWD in Norway. Therefore the prevalence of CWD is unknown.
慢性消耗病（CWD）是一种在鹿科动物中具有致命传染性的朊病毒病，在北美的一些地区呈地方流行性。在美国、加拿大以及韩国，该病已在进口受感染动物后，在鹿、麋鹿和驼鹿中被发现。在此，我们报告了欧洲首例慢性消耗病病例，患病动物是挪威南部一只自由放养的驯鹿。该病的起源不明。到目前为止，挪威仅有少量鹿科动物，其中包括几只驯鹿，接受了慢性消耗病检测。因此，慢性消耗病的流行情况尚不清楚。
