Association of chronic wasting disease susceptibility with prion protein variation in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
{{output}}
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is caused by prions, infectious proteinaceous particles, PrPCWD. We sequenced the PRNP gene of 2,899 white-tailed deer (WTD) from Illinois and southern Wisconsin, finding 38 haplotypes. Haplotypes A, B, D, E, G and 9 others encode... ...
