*Sample numbers with a “w” suffix were from white-tailed deer; all others were from mule deer.
**Based on RLN ELISA and RT-QuIC results in 3rd and 4th columns, which were 100% concordant.
***Positive/total replicate reactions. Two fractions for the same sample indicate results from repeated assays in quadruplicate.
****Carcass submitted for diagnostic examination. Samples not marked came from apparently healthy hunter-killed deer.
