Abstract Background Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids first reported in North America in the 1960s. In Europe. CWD was first diagnosed in 2016 in a wild reindeer in Norway. Detection of two more cases in the same mountain area led to the complete culling of this partially confined reindeer population of about 2400 animals. https://www.chiggate.com/biomat-sessions-sale/
