Experimental H-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy characterized by plaques and glial- and stellate-type prion protein deposits

Veterinary Research, 2011
Atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has recently been identified in Europe, North America, and Japan. It is classified as H-type and L-type BSE according to the molecular mass of the disease-associated prion protein (PrPSc).

Prevalence of the prion protein gene E211K variant in U.S. cattle

BMC Veterinary Research, 2008
Background In 2006, an atypical U.S. case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was discovered in Alabama and later reported to be polymorphic for glutamate (E) and lysine (K) codons at position 211 in the bovine prion protein gene (Prnp) coding ...

Characterisation of European Field Goat Prion Isolates in Ovine PrP Overexpressing Transgenic Mice (Tgshp IX) Reveals Distinct Prion Strains

Pathogens
After the detection of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and a zoonotic transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) caused by the pathological prion protein (PrPSc) in two goats, the investigation of goat prions became of greater interest ...

Atypical and classic bovine spongiform encephalopathy

, 2018
This chapter describes the prion diseases of cattle, or bovine transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (BoTSEs). “Classic” bovine spongiform encephalopathy (C-BSE), the major prion protein disorder of Bovidae, was first described in 1986.
