Prion protein gene frequencies in three Sicilian dairy sheep populations

Prion protein gene frequencies in three Sicilian dairy sheep populations

The objective of this paper was to investigate the prion protein (PrP) genotype and haplotype frequencies in three Sicilian dairy sheep populations. The three populations were: (1) 1096 Valle del Belice animals, (2) 1143 Comisana animals, and (3) 1771 individuals from 5 flocks with scrapie outbreaks...
