Supplement 1. Code for epidemiological model run in WinBUGS.

File List code.txt (md5: 6cc6cc260bf1ebb8b6818c46fedc6253) Description The code.txt file contains the code for WinBUGS used to run Bayesian epidemiological related to genotype-specific chronic wasting disease infection and mortality rates of white-tailed deer in Wisconsin, USA. The code was written to estimate epidemiological rates (infection rate and disease-induced mortality rate for chronic wasting disease) specific for white-tailed deer with two PRNP genotype variants. The G nucleotide in the third position of codon 96 codes for the glycine amino acid, the A nucleotide in this position causes a change in the amino acid code to serine. We considered genotypes either homozygous for the G allele (GG) or consisting of at least one copy of the A allele (A*). Data for the model were based SNP genotypes for 1,119 white-tailed deer from the core CWD infected area of Wisconsin, USA. The code is written in for WinBUGS version 1.4.3; Imperial College and Medical Research Council, UK.
