We report the first detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Sweden, in three old female moose (Alces alces). Prions (PrPCWD) were detected in brain but not in lymph nodes. The findings are similar to previously described CWD cases in old moose in Norway, where a spontaneous origin is hypothesized.
我们报告了在瑞典首次检测到慢性消耗病(CWD),涉及三头老年雌性驼鹿(Alces alces)。在脑组织中检测到了朊病毒(PrPCWD),但在淋巴结中未检测到。这些发现与先前在挪威描述的老年驼鹿 CWD 病例相似,在那里假设了自发起源。
