FIG 9.
Overview of the PRNP genotype distribution of white-tailed deer at each collection time point. White-tailed deer were collected at 24 and 72 h or 1, 2, 3, and 4 months postexposure. PRNP codon 96 genotypes, homozygous G96G (96GG) and heterozygous G96S (96GS), were distributed throughout the collections to ensure adequate genetic representation. An additional deer (not shown), homozygous S96S (96SS), was collected at 16 months postexposure.
