Chronic Wasting Disease: What is Prion? Can zombie deer disease spread? | Explained | Oneindia News

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a neurological disorder affecting deer and other cervids, caused by the abnormal growth of a misfolded protein called a prion.

This prion causes healthy brain proteins to become abnormal, leading to a range of symptoms. CWD is particularly concerning because it has the potential to affect both animals and humans, with the possibility of transmission through the consumption of infected meat.
