Table 2.
Prevalence of Theileria genotypes in adult white-tailed deer in Gadsden County, Florida, USA, in spring and autumn 2016
| Genotype | Farmed (n = 19) |
Wild (n = 24) |
Total (n = 43) |
P-valuea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| % Positive (n) | % Positive (n) | % Positive (n) | ||
| Genotype F | 57.9 (11) | 50.0 (12) | 53.5 (23) | 0.364 |
| Genotype G | 21.1 (4) | 29.2 (7) | 53.5 (23) | 0.200 |
| Genotype X | 21.1 (4) | 20.8 (5) | 20.9 (9) | 1.000 |
Notes: Sample size represents the number of clones sequenced per treatment (Farmed vs Wild). A total of 4 farmed individuals and 5 wild individuals were sampled. The percentage represents the prevalence of each genotype within the farmed or wild cohort. Genotype G was the most prevalent genotype in white-tailed deer. Genotype F was found at higher proportion than genotype X in wild deer, but not in farmed deer. These differences were not significant
