  • Alternatively, the long asymptomatic survival time of tg44 mice might also contribute to high level extraneural infection.

  • This could also be a factor in many animal prion diseases where the time course is long, i.e. 2-5 years or more, and might allow higher extraneural infectivity in fat tissues [7], [33] - [35].
