- This Project Grant award of $350,721 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research by the University of Montana Western to investigate mechanisms of environmental transmission for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in southwest Montana. CWD is a deadly neurological disease affecting deer, elk, and moose populations that has recently become a serious and persistent threat in the region. The goal of this 3-year study is to better understand the...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award of $365,846, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, will support research to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) transmission in deer populations. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will conduct this 5-year project, which aims to address key knowledge gaps around CWD, including prion detection and variation, environmental transmission,...
- This $156,267 federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) under the Wildlife Services program (CFDA 10.028) will support research on chronic wasting disease (CWD) in wild white-tailed deer populations. The key objectives are to verify the CWD status of 100 positive and 100 negative wild deer samples using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays, optimize and validate RT-QuIC on...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Louisiana State University a $799,371 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA 10.310). The grant will fund research from June 2023 through May 2026 to investigate the pathogenicity, transmission, and spillover potential of deer-adapted SARS-CoV-2 viruses in cell cultures and wildlife. Specifically, the university will analyze the effect of deer...
- This three-year, $799,999 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas A&M Agrilife Research on SARS-CoV-2 infections in the captive cervid industry. The project aims to quantify the frequency and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infections among captive deer and between deer, livestock, wildlife and farm workers on Texas deer...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) is focused on developing innovative tools and enhanced management practices to reduce the prevalence of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in farmed white-tailed deer and elk. The $222,335 award to Texas A&M AgriLife Research will leverage previous research demonstrating the...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) under the Wildlife Services program (CFDA 10.028) provides $248,315 to Colorado State University to improve management of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in wild cervid populations in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Key activities include: Using paired-pool RT-QuIC and/or PMCA techniques to systematically sample and test feces and plant samples in the park for CWD...
- This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care grant program (CFDA 10.025), provides funding of $205,913 to Texas A&M AgriLife Research to develop and implement a herd management option for a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)-positive white-tailed deer herd. The project aims to effectively clean up the CWD-positive herd without requiring...
