Genetic predictions of prion disease susceptibility in carnivore species based on variability of the prion gene coding region.

Genetic predictions of prion disease susceptibility in carnivore species based on variability of the prion gene coding region.

Mammalian species vary widely in their apparent susceptibility to prion diseases. For example, several felid species developed prion disease (feline spongiform encephalopathy or FSE) during the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic in the United Kingdom, whereas no canine BSE cases were de...
