PrioScout™ – Saliva-Based CWD Surveillance Made Simple
PrioScout™ enables proactive, herd-level surveillance for Chronic Wasting Disease using a non-invasive, saliva-based approach. Simply load with a compatible mineral brick, deploy in the field, and swab for prion detection. Detect CWD in deer and elk herds months or years before traditional methods. Note: Add-on swab kits are sold separately and do not include PrioScout™ hardware.

PrioScout™ CWD Sentinel

PrioScout™ Provides Unparalleled Herd-Level CWD Surveillance and Management Options

Engineered with a compact surface area and vertical orientation to prevent saliva pooling and reduce CWD prion buildup, PrioScout™ enables early detection—identifying CWD circulation months or even years before traditional methods, providing critical lead time for effective management response. When paired with a trail cam and repeat swabbing, it is possible to identify specific CWD positive animals. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Deploy PrioScout™ with a compatible mineral brick in target CWD surveillance area. Strap the device to a tree or use the built in T-post mount. Follow all local, state, provincial, and federal laws.

Step 2: Confirm deer or elk are visting PrioScout™ and swab for CWD prions following Priogen's instructions. Wipe PrioScout™ with bleach after each swabbing event.

Step 3: Ship your swab to Priogen for CWD testing. Results will consist of either "CWD detected" or "CWD not detected". Results will be shared with deer managers to help fight CWD. Remove and bleach PrioScout™ if "CWD detected" results are obtained.

How is PrioScout™ being used?

  • Priogen is partnering with agencies to deploy PrioScout™ in urban and suburban communities, where traditional CWD surveillance is challenging.
  • Together with wildlife conservation groups, agencies, and private citizens, Priogen is forming year‑round CWD surveillance networks that deliver real‑time data. These networks can be leveraged to fight the spread of CWD in exciting new ways.
  • Priogen works directly with hunters to deploy PrioScout™ in key areas, providing critical intel to provincial, state, and tribal deer managers.

The science behind PrioScout™

  • CWD prions are secreted in saliva within 2 to 3 months after infection. PrioScout™ provides agencies and the public with the earliest possible method to detect CWD.
  • PrioScout™ was engineered specifically to minimize CWD transmission risk with design features that prevent saliva pooling and prion accumulation.
  • Priogen acquired proprietary technology to recover prions from specific surfaces for RT-QuIC testing. PrioScout™ provides a standardized surface for repeat swabbing.
  • PrioScout™ swabs are sent to Priogen's lab and tested using the most sensitive prion test available: RT-QuIC.

PrioScout™ is intended to assist with state, tribal, provincial, and federal CWD surveillance efforts. Priogen will help coordinate CWD control efforts with both private citizens and the approprate agency.

Follow all local, state, provincial, and federal laws.
