Abstract
Älvsborgssjukan hos älg rönte stor uppmärksamhet under 1980- och 90-talen, men fortfarande finns inga definitiva svar på frågan om den underliggande orsaken. En av teorierna är att symtomen beror på prionsjukdom hos älgarna. Författarna har jämfört priongenen PRNP hos skandinaviska hjortdjur med motsvarande gen hos nordamerikanska hjortdjur som drabbats av Chronic Wasting Disease, en ut - bredd och smittsam prionsjukdom.
