Chronic wasting disease in bank voles: characterisation of the shortest incubation time model for prion diseases.

Chronic wasting disease in bank voles: characterisation of the shortest incubation time model for prion diseases.

In order to assess the susceptibility of bank voles to chronic wasting disease (CWD), we inoculated voles carrying isoleucine or methionine at codon 109 (Bv109I and Bv109M, respectively) with CWD isolates from elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer. Efficient transmission rate (100%) was observed with...
