Low sequence diversity of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in wild deer and goat species from Spain
Abstract The first European cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in free-ranging reindeer and wild elk were confirmed in Norway in 2016 highlighting the urgent need to understand transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in the context of European deer species and the many individual popula...
