Figure 1. — Overview of antemortem testing and post-mortem findings (where available) from study years two and three. Elk were grouped into categories based on testing results, including: (1) “too young to test’ (TYTT), (2) negative by both immunohistochemistry (IHC) and real-time quaking induced conversion (RT-QuIC), (3) IHC positive and RT-QuIC negative or suspect, (4) IHC positive and RT-QuIC positive, (5) IHC negative and RT-QuIC positive, and (6) IHC negative and RT-QuIC suspect. No animals testing positive by either antemortem assay were found to be negative post-mortem, with many not returning for sampling the following year.
