Pre-College Program Report
PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAM REPORT A. Pre-College STEM Summer Youth Programs The new Discovering STEM In ACES Program (DSAP) students engaged in teams based on their area of interests over two weeks virtually via Zoom of lectures, hands-on activities, and demonstrations conducted by ACES staff and students. Students are placed with a related academic discipline with a specific ACES department. During the two weeks, each student team participates in a series of STEM-related learning activities designed by the assigned department to help them understand how the program is related to the food, agriculture, human, and environmental systems are connected to their career goals. The program addresses discussions centered around some real-world problems. Students have a unique opportunity to learn from ACES alumni and leaders of related businesses and organizations. The Ag Discovery Program engaged students in a special 3-week virtual experience focused on food security and biosecurity related issues. It is sponsored by the Animal Planet Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the USDA, which is the agency charged with safeguarding the U.S. food supply. The three weeks involved some basic review related to science, and overall introduction to the food and agricultural industry through a series of virtual lectures, field trips, and presentations led by APHIS government veterinarians, plant scientists, wildlife science professionals, and students in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Encouraging students to pursue careers in the STEM areas related to the food and agricultural sciences is the key mission of the ACES Summer Pre-College Program experiences at the University of Illinois. This is accomplished as noted below: 1.
Promoting math and science careers through engagement with high school students and staff.
2.
Providing both virtual and hands-on, STEM-related experience for high school students through creative projects.
3.
Exploring exciting STEM disciplines and scientific fields through both virtual and hands-on demonstrations and presentations with professionals in these technical fields.
4.
Placing emphasis on students for stronger performance in STEM core high school, which creates a successful gateway to college.
5.
Creating opportunities for STEM faculty and graduate students to serve as mentors for high school students and promote awareness of STEM career opportunities.
Pre-College STEM education in the College of ACES is characterized by: •
Experimental learning with real projects and experiments
•
Math and science learning as its core
•
Technology driven
•
Team project focused
•
Mentoring by university scientists and graduate students in STEM disciplines

Champaign County Humane Society What do they do?: - take in pets that previous owners drop off whether they can’t take care or no longer have the option - provide stimulation and access to play rooms - Do multiple checks for adoption process - contact outside facilities to take in other residents. - provide behavior training.
Why do they do this?: -
To provide a happy home to already awesome companions To improve mental and physical health To ensure safe environments for both the person and their new companion. Preventing the need for the animals to go once more into shelter care.
Champaign County Humane Society Spay and Neutering:
Adopting animals can help:
-helps prevent animals from engaging in destructive behavior
-reduce the number of animals getting euthanized
-helps keep animals healthy: spaying/neutering can reduce mammary cancer by 90%
-stop cruelty within puppy mills -reduce pet overpopulation
-prevents accidental litters Adopt Not Shop! Instead of buying animals from a puppy mill, adopt an animal instead!

Have you ever wondered how does popcorn pop? A popcorn kernel is made of three main components: 1.) Moisture witch makes up 13.5 to 14 percent of the kernel 2.) Hard starch 3.) A strong outer shell
Sathvik
Have you ever wondered how does popcorn pop? When You heat the kernel the water inside the kernel heats up and turns into steam. This causes pressure to build up inside the Kernel and then it starts pushing up against the starch and it bursts. In the previous slide we said one of the main components was a hard shell was listed this is so that the kernel doesn't pop to early due to the shell being to weak.But Popping a kernel is sort of like a pressure cooker.
Sathvik
Different types of popcorn shapes:
Butterfly
Mushroom
Sathvik
Ball
Butterfly popcorn has a very irregular shape with large bumps. It has a crispy texture but can break easily. While the ball shaped popcorn is round with a rough surface. This shape makes it sturdy enough to stir and as you add tasty flavorings such as powdered cheese or sugar or caramel. The Mushroom shapes popcorn is like a mix of the butterfly and the ball popcorn. What causes this is the amount of pressure that is built up in the kernel before it pops and also the way it pops.
Jerry: Genomics
Purpose To optimize beneficial and desired traits of specific crops by studying their entire genome.
Technological aid The use of computing technologies to aid in processing enormous amounts of data by using methods like algorithms

Intro to Food Science (Jaden) ●
●
●
Food Science explores the major concepts of the production of food ○ Integrates math, biology, chemistry, and engineering ○ Work to ensure health and safety in all consumers ○ Leads to jobs in food companies, medicine or even government research New foods ○ Some food scientists research ways to make processed foods healthier ○ Optimize packaging, preserving or shipping food ○ Inspect food companies to ensure they follow government regulations Other products ○ Not all food scientists work on food directly ○ New sports drinks for athletes to provide electrolytes ○ Gummy vitamins to supply important nutrients
Food Science: Places to work (Samuel) Places you can work at for Food Science include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Ingredion (Corn Products) Corteva PepsiCo Growmark Quaker Oats Gatorade And so much more... There are many companies where you can work at in Food Science and Human Nutrition.
Chocolate! (Samuel) ●
Cocoa beans ○ Found in tropical areas near the equator ○ Different chocolates require different amounts of cocoa beans; White chocolate requires none ○ Every place in the world makes chocolate differently ○ Learned to store chocolate in a cool and dark place not refrigerator
● Our Chocolate lab ○ 3 different chocolates ■ White, milk and dark chocolate ○ Smell, touch and taste
Human Nutrition (Sofia and Rishi) Human nutrition can be defined as the science of how food and nutrition affect human health. It involves the processes where all people receive and process the nutrients essential for life.
The most essential aspect of nutrition is the volume and variety of nutrients a person consumes in their diet. A good diet can be one of the most effective ways of maintaining natural health and that’s why it’s important to remember that the food we eat has a significant impact on our health.
Human Nutrition Continued (Norah) ● ●
A food and drug interaction is an interaction or interference between foods you consume and drugs you consume, also known as contraindicating. Some medications may not be able to properly function due to certain foods
Example - While on the medication Xanax, you cannot ingest Grapefruit. This is due to clashing enzymes in the Liver where both Grapefruit and Xanax metabolize.
Dietetics (Alizey) Dietetics is the study of diets and their effects on the human body and its health.
Dietitians help people improve their health by providing food and nutrition knowledge.
Steps to becoming an RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) 1. Complete bachelor's degree and verification from accredited program 2. Complete a dietetic internship program 3. Pass CDR registration Exam 4. Apply for licensure in your state 5. Maintain your licensure and continue education
Hospitality Management
(Viviana)
So what is hospitality? Being defined, it is a friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Vincent Tseng (2019) says “The general definition of hospitality is to provide services to customers, however, it is more than that.”
Skills and services include, a consistent attendance, a customer’s satisfaction, intangible service, production and consumption, and variability.
Connecting food science with the word hospitality, it creates an industry. An industry associated with lodging or accommodations and food services for people away from their homes.
Continued…
(Viviana)
The point of hospitality in FSHN is to prepare students to become leaders in the hospitality industry with a foundation in science, business, and management.
Hospitality Management Program in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition: There are programs that associate with hospitality. University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign offers Bevier Café and Spice Box Restaurant. Others career opportunities can be food and beverage manager, meeting planner, sales manager, and entrepreneur. Hospitality-based service management is the managerial and administrative science of overseeing a hospitality organization.
Banana Bread Experiment (Samuel) For restaurants following specific recipes is important. ● ●
Food has to look and taste the same each time Can lose customers
Vegan Banana bread project:
● ●
Each given the same vague recipe that needed improving See how different each banana bread loaf came out

01 HDFS THEORIES Psychosocial Theory, Cognitive Theory, Learning Theory, Ecological Theory, Sociocultural Theory
HDFS Theories
8 Stages of Psychosocial Development Developed by Erik Erikson, inspired by Sigmund Freud 1. Trust vs mistrust: infancy 2. Autonomy vs shame and doubt: toddlerhood 3. Initiative vs guilt: early childhood/preschool age 4. Industry vs inferiority: middle childhood/grade school age 5. Identity vs role: adolescence 6. Intimacy vs isolation: emergent and early adulthood 7. Generativity vs stagnation: middle adulthood 8. Integrity vs despair: late adulthood
HDFS Theories L e a rning The o ry Developed by Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner ● Individuals learn how to respond and behave from stimuli in the environment ● Behavior is learned, learning involves series of stimuli and responses ● There are unconditional and conditional responses to stimuli ● Manipulation of environment to affect a specific behavior ● Use of positive and negative reinforcements
Thais. Different Types of Learning Theories. 25 Dec. 2018, mylove4learning.com/different-types-of-learning-theories-understanding-the-basics/. Thompson, Ken. Bioteams. 5 Nov. 2012, bioteams.com/2012/11/05/the-five-major.html.
HDFS Theories
Cognitive Theory
Developed by Jean Piaget ➢ Individuals’ mental abilities and behavior are a combined result of biological maturation and adaptation to the environment ➢ Individuals go through stages of cognitive development ➢ 4 Stages of Cognitive Development ○ Sensorimotor (birth-2): learn about environment ○ Preoperational (2-6): develop memory ○ Concrete operational (7-11): think and problem solve ○ Formal operational (12-18): think abstractly
HDFS Theories
So c io c u ltu ra l The o ry
Developed by Lev Vygotsky - Focuses on guidance and the structure provided by the larger social construct - Guided participation - Zone of proximal development

HDFS Theories
Ec o lo gic a l Syste m s Developed by Urie BronfenbrennerThe o ry ➢ Individuals’ development within a system of relationships or context ○ Microsystems (family, school, peer group, etc.) ○ Mesosystem (interactions of microsystem) ○ Exosystem (indirect influence [e.g. caregiver’s promotion]) ○ Macrosystem (culture, religion, ethnicity) ○ Chronosystem (your life, transitions, history)

03 Diversity topics Social Identities, Societal Pressures, Privileged Groups, etc.
Social Identity Wheel A social identity wheel is where people characterize themselves between race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, sex, sexual orientation, religious or spritual affiliation, age, etc. Social identities affect how people perceive themselves and how they’re perceived; how they interact with others and how they’re interacted with.
The Gender Unicorn Where we characterize ourselves between gender identity, gender expression, sex assigned at birth, and who we are physically and emotionally attracted to.
Moore, Anna and Landyn Pan, “The Gender Unicorn”, Date Accessed 22 July 2021 from: https://transstudent.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/genderunicorn1.jpg
Societal Pressures Marginalized groups: social identities that are disenfranchised and exploited Society pressures people of marginalized identities to feel bad and dislike themselves due to what is portrayed in the media and explicitly or implicitly taught (Ex: The baby doll experiment). Privileged groups: social identity groups that hold unearned privilege in society ★
We shared our own experiences similar to the people in the videos related to their race, gender, culture, ethnicity, as well as other social identities.

04 Adolescent Development Social Media, Peer Pressure, Adolescent Characteristics, Risk Taking
Adolescent Development Adolescence: starts with puberty and ends with economic and social autonomy/independence
Adolescent Characteristics: ● Need for social recognition ● Need for acceptance or to belong/affiliated ● Developing identity Dual System of Adolescent Risk Taking: ● Impulsivity ● Reward seeking
“Brain Under Construction.” Momentous Institute, 24 June 2019, https://momentousinstitute.org/blog/brain-under-construction. Date Accessed: 22 July 2021.
Social Media: ● Can cause adolescents to feel the need to change themselves ● This corresponds to adolescents need to ‘fit in’ ● Adolescents have a hard time getting away from social media due to the fear of missing out
Adolescent Development Cont. Peer Influence: (people adolescents surround themselves with) ● ● ● ● ●
Gives identity to the teen within a larger setting Establishes social norms Imitation of high-status Shapes self-esteem and self-concept Affects decisions Merrill, Stephen. “Decoding the Teenage Brain (in 3 Charts).” 31 Jan. 2019, https://www.edutopia.org/article/decoding-teenage-brain-3-charts.

05 Family Studies Ecological Systems Theory & Genograms
Genograms ● ●
● ●
●
Genograms demonstrate the relationships, patterns, success, and failures in the wider family It can be used for both assessment and intervention purposes to help understand a person and why they may act the way that they do They can include information such as gender, age, marriages, and children Has key symbols to represent the quality of relationships (such as: close, distant, hostile, abusive, etc.) Information such as addictions and habits are also included (like alcohol, mental, drug, and health problems)

SURPRISE! Your parents have told you that you’re moving to the glamorous Norfolk, Nebraska. You’re sad to leave your home but you realize that this is a great way to immerse yourself in a new environment! You want to make sure you know more about the place before you get entirely onboard; good thing you took the NRES program to get familiar with all the tools you can use to find out about the surrounding area!
You learned a lot about ecosystem services, especially in the context of Illinois
Image: Sala, Osvaldo & Yahdjian, Laura & Havstad, Kris & Aguiar, Martin. (2017). Rangeland Ecosystem Services: Nature’s Supply and Humans’ Demand. 10.1007/978-3-319-46709-2_14.
Because of how much you learned about ecosystem services, you decide you research some in Norfolk too
Ecosystem Services Nebraska can be divided into four ecoregions: tallgrass prairie, mixed grass prairie, sandhills and shortgrass prairie
Tallgrass prairie -
Mixed grass prairie
Reduces plant litter. Helps environment around farms. Supports biodiversity by providing habitat for many smaller wildlife from birds to pocket gophers.
-
Sandhills Many animals depend upon resources provided by sandhill ecosystems. Within a ground cover of grasses and perennials, black bears, wild turkey, gopher tortoises, indigo snakes and other animals make their home.
Most important range types for livestock production (about 1/3 of the area is used for livestock grazing.)
Shortgrass prairie -
Well-suited for both beef cattle and sheep production. Supports more than 300 species of breeding, migrating, and overwintering bird species.
Ecosystem Services cont. 50% of the total state of Nebraska is made up of grasslands, here are a list of services that grasslands provide: -
Disperse seeds. Mitigate drought and floods. Cycle and move nutrients. Detoxify and decompose waste. Control agricultural pests. Maintain biodiversity. Generate and preserve soils and renew their fertility. Contribute to climate stability.
-
Sandhill fens are also a very common ecosystem service that support northern species, such as bog bean, marsh marigold and cotton-grass not found elsewhere in the state.
Drinking Water in Madison County While researching Norfolk, you start to get thirsty. Getting water from the tap makes you wonder where the provisioning service of drinking water will come from in Norfolk.
Source: Once you move to Nebraska, all your drinking water will come from the ground! As odd as that sounds, we assure you it’s safe. According to reports from 2018, the water has no violations, which makes it safe for you to use.
Why GroundWater: Although Madison has access to four lakes, it chooses to rely on groundwater. This is because it helps reduce water usage. The aquifer used in Madison and changing their main source to groundwater has helped decrease their water usage by one billion gallons each year.
How You Can Help: Everyone in this community plays a part in order to keep it safe and beautiful. To help, you can turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, and only run your dishwasher and washing machine when you have a full load.
Using the Environmental Conservation Online System (ecos.fws.gov), you have found out that your favorite animal, the Whooping Crane, is endangered but still present in Madison County, Nebraska! You wonder why they are endangered and what you can do to help.
whooping crane
One of 10 Species Endangered: ● Why are they endangered
● Ecosystem services provided by the species
● Ways to help
whooping crane
Whooping Crane (Grus Americana) Population declines were caused by: ● shooting ● destruction of nesting habitat in the prairies from agricultural development ● low population numbers ● slow reproductive potential ● cyclic nesting and wintering habitat suitability ● Dangerous migration ● many human pressures on the wintering grounds.
Current threats to wild cranes: ● collisions with man made objects such as power lines and fences, shooting, predators, disease, habitat destruction, severe weather, and a loss of two thirds of the original genetic material.
Ecosystem services: Regulating services- they eat insects that carry diseases Culture Services- Capture Tourism Ways to Help: ● Contribute to funds online like Operation Migration ● Share News ● Report Whooping Cranes ● Protect wetlands (stopovers when migrating)

Zoonotic Diseases of Livestock Presented By: Essence Bartlett, Bailey DuChene, Marcus Driver, & Priyanka Patel
Zoonotic Disease Definition: -
-
-
A disease that can spread and infect animals and humans. Caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi 6+ out of every 10 known infectious diseases in people can be spread from animals
Examples: ●
Salmonellosis
●
Cysticercosis
●
Tuberculosis
●
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
BSE: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (or Mad Cow Disease) -
-
Neurological disease, resulting in incoordination, nervousness and violence Incubation period of three to six years Cow dies within two weeks to six months Caused by an abnormal prion protein
Healthy cow’s brain vs. Infected
Mad Cow Disease (Cont.) -
Cows with BSE: underweight, abnormal stances, nervous and violent
No reliable way to test for or treat the disease Not contagious to other cows or to people - Other cows get BSE by eating contaminated feed - Regulations have been created since the outbreaks in numerous countries - Humans can get a version of BSE, called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD)
Cysticercosis ➔
Animals Cysticercosis - A disease that usually only affects cattle and pigs. The fox tapeworm (aka bovine tapeworm) carries the zoonotic disease.
Symptoms in Animals ● ● ● ● ● ●
A sharp decrease in appetite or a complete rejection of food, Increased body temperature Anxiety Frequent diarrhea Malfunctions in the work of the heart Muscle pain
Does it transfer from animal to animal or Is it contagious? ● ●
Cysticercosis isn’t transferred directly from human-to-human. Animal-to-animal is possible if one animals eats another animal’s feces.
Cysticercosis (Cont.) ➔ ● ➔
What insects infect cattle and pigs? The bovine tapeworm. How are animals infected?
●
Consumption of food or water containing tapeworms or tapeworm eggs.
●
Tapeworms can come from human feces. There can also be segments of eggs in grass.

Is there treatment?
●
Treatment of cattle from cysticercosis is not enough developed.
●
One of the effective drugs is considered “Dronzit”,
●
Indirect and misleading towards other diseases.
Pictures of Animals Infected With Cysticercosis
Marcus - Salmonellosis Salmonellosis is an infection caused by the bacteria salmonella. Salmonella is found in the intestinal tracts and stool of animals. Salmonellosis infections in animals are caused by eating or touching food contaminated with feces. Signs and Symptoms: -
Diarrhea (sometimes bloody) Vomiting Fever Loss of appetite Dehydration Abdominal pain Decreased activity Shock
Treatments: Fluid replacements, anti sickness medication, antacids, and antibiotics.
Prevention: - Clean and get rid of feces - Thoroughly cook food - Don't leave wet pet food out at room temperature - Prevent pets from hunting and scavenging small wild animals

Regulatory/Zoonotic Diseases from Livestock to Humans
By: Gracie, Emma, Sydni, Caleb, and Janelle
What Are Zoonotic Diseases? Disease Transmitted from Animals to Humans A zoonosis (zoonotic disease or zoonoses -plural) is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species
About
2,500,000,000 People are made ill by zoonotic diseases each year
What Percent Of Diseases Are Zoonotic? Zoonotic 61% The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 61% of all human diseases are zoonotic in origin
Other 39% It is estimated 39% of human diseases have other origins
Veterinary Services helps diagnosis animals with diseases/health problems, medicates/, vaccinates animals, perform surgeries, etc
MAIN GOAL ➔
To prevent, to control, and eliminate diseases
Rabies What is it? Rabies is a viral disease that can spread to humans from a bite or scratch from an infected animal, once the symptoms start to show rabies has a 99.9% Who it affects mortality rate
and how
Rabies can affect both humans and animals
Economic Costs
Preventive and treatment w/costs
To avoid contracting rabies avoid close contact with any wild animals and make sure to get your rabies shot.
The yearly cost of rabies was last measured in 2000-2011 and it was said to have costed a whopping total of 1.2 million per year and $13.4 million throughout those years
Symptoms:
Coronavirus Covid-19
❖ ❖ ❖
❖ ❖ Transmission: ❖ From Bat to Human ❖ But most notably human to human ❖ ❖ ❖ Treatment/Prevention: ❖ Treatment: There is no specific treatment but it is recommended to stay ❖ home and take over the counter medicine ❖ Prevention: There are different vaccines you can get for Covid-19
Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea
West Nile Virus Transmission Overview
West NIle Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne disease that causes mostly flu-like symptoms in humans, but usually doesn’t cause to many issues.
Infection of the West Nile Virus will mostly occur when an infected mosquito bites someone. These mosquitos will get the virus by feeding of a infected bird.
Symptoms Most people that contract the virus show no real symptoms but in few cases people will have fever, headache, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph nodes. In even rarer cases people may develop meningitis or encephalitis.
Black Plague Plague in Animals
Plague in Humans
The Black Plague would start off on fleas and then spread to small animals such as, rabbits, cats and Rats. Once the fleas would infect the animal, they would then spread to humans.
The Black Plague spreads to humans by a bite from an infected flea. The Plague can also be spread by infected droplets or items with the bacteria on it.
Symptoms
Symptoms
Symptoms in animals are, Fever, inflammation of the lymph nodes below the lower jaw, and a cough
Symptoms in Humans are, Fever, headache, chills, and swollen lymph nodes.
Take out any trash laying around, to prevent unvaccinated animals infecting you or your pets.
Vaccinate your pets and yourself.
Stay away from sick or dead animals; wear gloves if you come in contact with one
Preventative steps for the Black Plague
What is Avian Influenza Avian Influenza is a viral disease that mainly affects food producing birds. The virus can occasionally jump to mammals like humans
Avian Influenza Transmission
Symptoms (Humans)
Avian Influenza can be transmitted from bird to mammals in 2 ways. airborne contamination or contamination from feces, mucous, or saliva.
Symptoms of Avian Influenza in humans are conjunctivitis, fever, cough, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting as well as severe respiratory illness.

��
Giardia is a parasite that affects the intestines and causes diarrheal diseases. 🦠 It is considered Zoonotic because it is able to spread from animal to humans.
🦠
How does it transfer?
Giardiasis can be spread through contaminated water or food when ingested.
Person to Person contact or animal to human contact
And in common areas with poor sanitation
Symptoms

★ ★
fenbendazole and metronidazole are the most common treatments It takes about 2 weeks for Giardia to be eliminated after treatment for dogs.
★ Metronidazole/fenbendazole are also taken orally for 5-7 days for the disease to be treated. ★ It takes a week or two for the cats to be fully treated.
★ Tinidazole is very affective and can treat the disease in a single dose ★ Metronidazole is also used to treat the disease. ★ Humans are able to recover in a week.
Cryptosporidium (C. Parvum) Transmission: animal to human
*COMMON AT PETTING ZOO’S*
Symptoms: Diarrhea
Cryptosporidium (C. Parvum) Prevention
Prevent the Spread By Washing Your hands
and/ or
Wearing PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) How do humans get the disease? Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a variant of the disease BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) . CJD
destroys the spinal cord and brain function of humans. Humans can get CJD if they eat food with the infected tissue.
Symptoms in Humans
CJD symptoms in humans are dementia, depression, loss of coordination, declines in memory, thinking, and behavior.
Prevention In 2006 there were 160 cases of the BSE variant in humans. There aren’t really any preventions for humans to do, besides being careful with what meat they buy.
$ Even with an healthy animal pet owners can spend up to about 2k per year just from routine visits. Now imagine how much it must cost for a sick dog. In 2012 it was reported that in the last decade over $20 billions has been lost because of zoonotic diseases and about $200 billion of indirect costs. These diseases can also cause loss of economic opportunities causing further damage.
Fun Fact: Accordin g to an 2011 pet su rvey 61% of pet owners said they are comfortab le with only spending $10 0-$1,000 to save th eir pet 15% $1,000-$3,000 and only 10% said they would do more

Prion Diseases By: Rion, Joelle, Osmar, Daniela
What are Prion Diseases? Prion- Type of misfolded protein that spreads throughout the body that can trigger normal prion proteins and cause neurodegenerative diseases Made of a chain of amino acids like all proteins and exist in two forms: -
PrPc: found in nerve cells, innocuous PrPsc: known as a prion, harmful
Both humans and animals are able to contract prion diseases
Symptoms of a Prion Disease Rapidly developing dementia Difficulty walking+changes in gait Hallucinations Muscle stiffness Confusion Fatigue Difficulty speaking
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Treatment Prion diseases cannot be cured. Some medications help slow the progress. A potential therapy that is still being investigated is anti-prion antibodies.
Prevention -
Properly clean and sterilize medical equipment Strict regulations to monitor the feeding and handling of cows Restrictions on importation of livestock
Types of Prion Diseases
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease Transmissible mink encephalopathy Feline spongiform encephalopathy Exotic ungulate spongiform encephalopathy
What is Scrapie? Scrapie is a disease that affects the nervous systems of sheep and goat. Scrapie is caused by Prion which is a protein that can transmit its shape onto other things that contain the same protein. Prion can be found in sheeps and goats placental fluids and feces.
Detection and Symptoms Detection: -
Third eyelid biopsy Rectal lymphoid tissue biopsy
Some symptoms of Scrapie: -
Weight loss Behavioral changes Itching and rubbing Wool Pulling . Biting at limbs or sides
Prevention -
National Scrapie Eradication Program -
Regulatory eradication program called Accelerated Scrapie Eradication Program (ASEP)
-
Voluntary certification program called Scrapie Flock Certification Program (SFCP).
-
Genetic testing
-
Hygienic lambing management
Sheep with Scrapie
Goat with Scrapie
Chronic Wasting Disease Prion disease that affects deer, elk, reindeer, sika deer and moose. Spread through body fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine (direct or indirect contact through environmental contamination of soil, food or water).
Detection and Symptoms Lymphoid tissue biopsy of tonsils, lymph nodes, and rectal mucosa Symptoms: ● ● ● ●
drastic weight loss (wasting) stumbling lack of coordination listlessness
