Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Chronic-wasting disease (CWD) is a prion-derived fatal neurodegenerative disease that has affected wild cervid populations on a global scale. Susceptibility has been linked unambiguously to several amino acid variants within the prion protein gene ( PRNP ). Quantifying their distribution across landscapes can provide critical information for agencies attempting to adaptively manage CWD. Here we...
