  • Deer acquire prions, the infectious agents behind Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), primarily through exposure to contaminated environments and direct contact with infected animals. This exposure can occur via bodily fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact with an infected deer or indirectly through contact with contaminated soil, food, or water. The insidious nature of prions allows them to persist in the environment for extended periods, contributing to the ongoing spread of CWD.

    Direct contact between deer, especially during social behaviors like grooming or aggression, can facilitate prion transmission through saliva, blood, or other bodily fluids. Mother deer can also transmit prions to their fawns during nursing or through placental fluids during gestation. The close proximity and frequent interactions within deer populations contribute to the ease of direct transmission, especially in areas with high deer densities.

    The decomposition of infected deer carcasses releases large quantities of prions into the environment. Scavengers feeding on these carcasses can further spread the prions through their feces, contaminating new areas. This highlights the importance of proper carcass disposal in managing CWD. State wildlife agencies often recommend specific disposal methods, such as incineration or burial in designated landfills, to minimize environmental contamination.

    Research suggests that some deer may be genetically more susceptible to CWD than others. Genetic variations in the prion protein gene (PRNP) can influence the incubation period and the likelihood of developing the disease. Understanding these genetic factors is crucial for developing targeted management strategies.

    Looking for trans/queer commies in Northwest Indiana / South Chicago Area

    Hey folks, I'm asking on behalf of a trans comrade that is new to transition and really wants to find some local friends to talk to and possibly hang out with in the future. This comrade is having a bit of a hard time getting started and I think this would help a lot.

    If you think this might be in your alley or you know anyone, please DM me on matrix @small-k:matrix.org. You can do so with a new account but I will ask which account on hexbear you are, dw I will forget it almost immediately and you can delete that info after. I'm just asking for security/no trolls reasons.

    Sahra Wegenknect, the German Left Splitter: A deep dive by yours truly

    cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/2034700

    As some of you may have heard, Sahra Wegenknect is a first generation Iranian-German MP and splitter from Linke in her own party known as Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (yes, its her own name). In the 90s, she was part of the successor party to the SED in its left faction known as Communist Platform. Unfortunately, she has yet to remove her brain from the mainstream 90s communist movement and has yet to advance on social issues. This has been glossed over on by many liberal commenters without any quotes from the devil-we-know, and I am going to discuss her most horrendous takes in depth here.

    I will also be comparing her stance with Linke. Most quotes are from her own book 2021 Die Selbstgerechten: Mein Gegenprogramm - für Gemeinsinn und Zusammenhalt. (The Self-Righteous: My Counter-Program - for Community Spirit and Cohesion). It should be noted her book is not published for free online, which is suspicious for an alleged soci
