  1. AA+, sheep with additional polymorphisms at codons 112 or 141. Survival times are indicated as mean ± SD. In brackets, numer of clinically affected sheep within each transmission group. n/a, analysis not performed due to insufficient sheep numbers. Ns, no significant differences; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01 in the Mann–Whitney test.
