Cervid Prion Protein Polymorphisms: Role in Chronic Wasting Disease Pathogenesis

Cervid Prion Protein Polymorphisms: Role in Chronic Wasting Disease Pathogenesis

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease found in both free-ranging and farmed cervids. Susceptibility of these animals to CWD is governed by various exogenous and endogenous factors. Past studies have demonstrated that polymorphisms within the prion protein (PrP) sequence itself affect an a...
