Vertical transmission of chronic wasting disease in free-ranging white-tailed deer populations

Audrey M. Sandoval, Amy V. Nalls, Erin McNulty, Nathaniel D. Denkers, Devon J Trujillo, Zoe Olmsted, Ethan P Barton, Jennifer R. Ballard, Daniel M. Grove, Jeremy S. Dennison, Natalie K. Stilwell, Christopher A. Cleveland, James M. Crum, Mark G. Ruder, Candace K. Mathiason

The paper detects the infectious CWD agent and prion seeding in fetal and reproductive tissues of white-tailed deer, supporting vertical transmission as a mechanism of CWD spread.

Population genomic evidence that human and animal infections in Africa come from the same populations of Dracunculus medinensis

Caroline Durrant, Elizabeth A. Thiele, Nancy E. Holroyd, Stephen R. Doyle, Guillaume Sallé, Alan Tracey, Geetha Sankaranarayanan, Magda E. Lotkowska, Hayley M. Bennett, Thomas Huckvale, Zahra Abdellah, Philip Tchindebet Ouakou, Mesfin Wossen, Makoy Samuel Yibi Logora, Cheick Oumar Coulibaly, , James Anthony Cotton

The paper uses genomic data from Guinea worm infections in humans and dogs to show they originate from the same population, indicating transmission between species and a population bottleneck.
