Evolution of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy and the prion protein gene ( <i>PRNP</i> ) in mammals

2020-01-27

Abstract excerpt

Wildlife managers are concerned with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) as they are currently incurable, always fatal, and have the potential to cross species boundaries. Although a wide range of mammals exhibit TSEs, it is currently unclear whether they are evolutionarily clustered or if TSE+ species are randomly distributed phylogenetically. We tested whether mammalian species with TSEs are phyloge...
