AB The prion protein sequence from cervids in Scandinavia such as European moose, roe deer, fallow deer and the semi-domesticated reindeer have high homology to the prion protein of North American cervids. Allelic variants exist in the European moose at amino acid position 36 as TT or TN and at amino acid position 209 as MM, MI or II, in the reindeer at amino acid position 176 as DD or NN and position 225 as SS, SY or YY. Certain variants that are connected to a suggested susceptibility to Chronic Wasting disease (CWD) are present in Scandianavian cervids and a corresponding susceptibility to CWD may also be expected.
