      Guere Calderon, Mariella Evelyn; Våge, Jørn; Tharaldsen, Helene; Benestad, Sylvie Lafond; Vikøren, Turid; Madslien, Knut Ivar Engesæter; Hopp, Petter; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Røed, Knut; Tranulis, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The emergence of CWD in Europe in 2016 and the first natural infection in wild reindeer warranted disease management. This led to the testing of 2424 hunted or culled reindeer during 2016–2018, from the infected subpopulation ...
    • The demographic pattern of infection with chronic wasting disease in reindeer at an early epidemic stage 

      Mysterud, Atle; Madslien, Knut Ivar Engesæter; Viljugrein, Hildegunn; Vikøren, Turid; Andersen, Roy; Guere Calderon, Mariella Evelyn; Benestad, Sylvie Lafond; Hopp, Petter; Strand, Olav; Ytrehus, Bjørnar; Røed, Knut; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Våge, Jørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Infection patterns linked to age and sex are crucial to predict the population dynamic effects of diseases in long-lived species. How such demographic patterns of infection arise is often multifactorial, although the cause ...
    • Variation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) sequence of wild deer in Great Britain and mainland Europe 

      Robinson, Amy L; Williamson, Helen; Guere Calderon, Mariella Evelyn; Tharaldsen, Helene; Baker, Karis; Smith, Stephanie L; Perez-Espona, Silvia; Krojerova-Prokesova, Jarmila; Pemberton, Josephine M.; Goldmann, Wilfred; Houston, Fiona (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Susceptibility to prion diseases is largely determined by the sequence of the prion protein gene (PRNP), which encodes the prion protein (PrP). The recent emergence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Europe has highlighted ...
