The science behind PrioScout™

chevron_left chevron_right

CWD Prions in Saliva

CWD prions are found in the saliva of deer and elk about 3-6 months after an infection

Surface Swabbing

Priogen aquired proprietary technology to recover prions from particular surfaces for RT-QuIC testing. PrioScout™ provides a standardized surface for repeat swabbing.

Ultra-Sensitive Testing

PrioScout™ swabs are sent to Priogen's lab and tested using the most sensitive prion test available, RT-QuIC.

Continuous Surveillance

Be part of the solution and help state, tribal, and provincial CWD managers proactively fight the spread of CWD. PrioScout™ unites private landowners with agencies to conduct proactive and continuous CWD monitoring, ensuring peace of mind.

Pre-Transport

Deploy PrioScout™ in deer or elk enclosures 1 to 2 months before transporting. Perform 2 to 3 swabbing events to screen for CWD prions. Help prevent movement of postive animals and coordinate monitoring with your local or state veterinarian to help prevent CWD spread.

Active CWD Management

Known CWD positive herds can be actively monitored using PrioScout™ to identify specific animals actively shedding prions. Use our Tricision™ live-animal testing to confirm prion shedding and cull positive animals to help prevent environmental contamination. We will help coordinate these efforts with state, tribal, and provincial agencies.

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.
