Novel Prion Protein Gene ( <i>PRNP)</i> Variants in Wild Montana Mule Deer

2026-03-19

Abstract excerpt

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of cervids (elk, deer, moose, and reindeer) that is increasing in prevalence and expanding to new geographical areas. TSEs, commonly referred to as prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative diseases that occur in a variety of mammals, including humans, and typically exhibit species-specific characteristics. This study reports the se...
