| Incubation periods | Ranging from 15 months to over 3 years 8 |
| Clinical presentations | Some strains affect specific deer species preferentially 9 |
| PrP<sup>Sc</sup> glycoform patterns | Different molecular weights and glycosylation patterns 10 |
| High-prevalence areas | Up to 50% of sampled animals test positive in some Wisconsin populations 11 |
| Low-prevalence areas | Typically 1-5% in newly affected regions 12 |
| Species susceptibility | White-tailed deer highly susceptible; elk show variable susceptibility 13 |
| Age at infection | Younger animals may have shorter incubations 18 |
| Prion dose | Higher infectious doses lead to shorter incubation 19 |
| Species | Different cervid species show different susceptibilities 20 |
| Strain | Different CWD strains have characteristic incubation periods 21 |
