Behavior changes
Emaciation
Excessive salivation, urination
Most of the time no signs, or unspecific signs

�WB: Norwegian moose prions have different characteristics from other CWD isolates
�It is not only host dependent: Norwegian moose was also different from Canadian moose
� New strain? Need for bio-assay
Bio-assay ongoing

Distribution of PrPCWD
Lymph nodes and/or brain
In brain but not in lymph nodes
Distribution of PrPCWD in the brain
Spread, especially in the brain stem
Mostly in neurons, in the whole brain
Western blot Like CWD in North America
Low molecular weigth pattern. Truncated on the N-terminal.
2 populations of reindeer
Semi-domesticated
Wild
The sami people and their reindeer
… no administrative borders
Started 10th August 2017, completed February 2018
Nordfjella, relatively isolated area2000 reindeer / 25 000 total wild reindeer.
Disease absent
Increasing distribution, eradication unlikely
Small number, localized cases, eradication possible
Widespread and abondant distribution; long term management aimed at population suppression and protection

Increasing distribution and abondance: eradication unlikely

� CWD: new European disease
� Most contagious of the prion diseases (within cervid population)
� New atypical CWD type in Norwegian moose, Nor16CWD
� Where is the epicenter? What is the situation in Europe?
Take home messages
� Measures to eradicate/ limit spread completed, unpredictable issue (environment)
� Wildlife population, management challenges
� Overlapping cervids populations, both wild and semi domesticated
� Need for sensitive test on live animals (RAMALT) /environment (Rt-QuIC)
� Genetic studies
