*Susceptibility as defined in laboratory or exposure to M. cerebralis at vulnerable life stages. ^Score of 0-3 or S:
0=resistant, no spores develop;
1=partial resistance, clinical disease rare and develops only when exposed to very high parasite doses.

2=susceptible, clinical disease common at high parasite doses, but greater resistance to disease at low doses.
3=highly susceptible, clinical disease common.
S=susceptibility is unclear (conflicting reports, insufficient data, lack of M. cerebralis confirmation).
