How do prions cause disease?
This clip is from @CIDRAP_CWD's webinar. It explains the basics of prions, shares findings on the fate & behavior of prions in aquatic environments & discusses what that means for our understanding of CWD transmission & spread bit.ly/4qrI3eJ
View our recent webinar, From Soils to Streams: Characterizing Waterborne Prion Transport. Drs. Diana Karwan, Anu Li, and Stuart Lichtenberg discuss recent work with hydrologic prion movement and its implications, moderated by Dr. Cory Anderson.
