Table 1. Allelic prevalence of CWD in various cervid species.
A meta-analysis of previously published data, focusing on publications with unbiased sampling methodology, was compiled to determine the prevalence of CWD among various white-tail deer (WTD), mule deer (MD) and elk alleles. The odds ratios of allelic susceptibility are provided by species, including 95 % confidence intervals and probability values.
