La maladie de la vache folle est une expression que de nombreux Canadiens connaissent et la plupart savent que les humains qui en sont atteints doivent alors lutter contre une maladie mortelle qui d\u00e9truit lentement le cerveau. Ils ne savent peut-\u00eatre pas cependant qu\u2019une autre maladie \u00e0 prions, appel\u00e9e maladie d\u00e9bilitante chronique des cervid\u00e9s (MDC), touche les cerfs, les wapitis, les orignaux et les caribous.<\/p>\n
Depuis 1967, la MDC s\u2019est r\u00e9pandue depuis le Colorado jusque dans 24 \u00c9tats des \u00c9tats\u2011Unis, de m\u00eame qu\u2019en Alberta et en Saskatchewan (le Manitoba, la Colombie-Britannique et les Territoires du Nord-Ouest sont menac\u00e9s). Cette maladie pourrait infecter et tuer un tr\u00e8s grand nombre des deux millions de cervid\u00e9s qui vivent au Canada, affecter les populations pour qui ces animaux sont une source d\u2019alimentation et une part de leur culture, ainsi que les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes, la diversit\u00e9 et la r\u00e9putation canadienne de destination de pr\u00e9dilection pour la faune. On ne conna\u00eet pas le risque de transmission aux humains et aux autres mammif\u00e8res.<\/p>\n
Debbie McKenzie, Ph. D., et Wishart, Ph. D., dirigent une \u00e9quipe qui utilisera la g\u00e9nomique et la m\u00e9tabolomique pour mettre au point des outils pour r\u00e9aliser des tests sur les cervid\u00e9s et dans leur environnement, identifier les souches de la MDC, mod\u00e9liser les risques et pr\u00e9voir la propagation de la maladie. L\u2019\u00e9quipe travaille en collaboration avec les Premi\u00e8res Nations, des chasseurs et des gestionnaires pour \u00e9laborer des strat\u00e9gies inclusives gr\u00e2ce auxquelles identifier rapidement la maladie, ce qui permettra le d\u00e9pistage pr\u00e9coce et r\u00e9duira la propagation de la maladie.<\/p>\n
L\u2019application des outils mis au point par l\u2019\u00e9quipe r\u00e9duira l\u2019ampleur de la MDC chez les cervid\u00e9s sauvages, le risque pour les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes indig\u00e8nes et le risque potentiel pour les populations qui ont besoin des cervid\u00e9s pour assurer leur subsistance. On pourra aussi maintenir le statut embl\u00e9matique des cervid\u00e9s au Canada pour les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures. <\/p>\n
The project’s GE3<\/sup>LS research component will identify management options under various property rights associated with wildlife, and determine the perception of Chronic Wasting Disease risk held by stakeholder groups and how these translate to preferred management strategies and willingness to participate in ongoing surveillance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La maladie de la vache folle est une expression que de nombreux Canadiens connaissent et la plupart savent que les humains qui en sont atteints doivent alors lutter contre une maladie mortelle qui d\u00e9truit lentement le cerveau.
