Age of first detection of CWD infection in elk, based on combined antemortem and post-mortem testing data. Antemortem testing combined information collected from both the real-time quaking induced conversion assay (RT-QuIC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), while post-mortem data was based on IHC testing. Genotypes were confirmed by sequencing of the PRNP gene.
