Molecular Modeling of Prion Transmission to Humans

Viruses, 2014
Using different prion strains, such as the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease agent and the atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy agents, and using transgenic mice expressing human or bovine prion protein, we assessed the reliability of protein ...

Protocol for further laboratory investigations into the distribution of infectivity of Atypical BSE [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2014
Information on the pathogenesis and tissue distribution of Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle through the study of field cases and experimental transmission studies is lacking. The latter are limited to transmission of Atypical BSE

Demographic risk factors for classical and atypical scrapie in Great Britain [PDF]

, 2007
Following the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) crisis, the European Union has introduced policies for eradicating transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), including scrapie, from large ruminants. However, recent European Union surveillance

Mycoplasma bovis involved in pituitary abscess syndrome in a beef heifer concomitantly infected with haemoparasites

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract This case report describes pituitary abscess syndrome (PAS) in a 20‐month‐old Blonde d'Aquitaine heifer with cranial nerve deficits (V, VII, VIII, IX, X and XII) associated with facial hemiparesis, head tilt, ataxia and dysphagia, pneumonia and otitis interna.

Prion diseases are efficiently transmitted by blood transfusion in sheep [PDF]

, 2008
The emergence of variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, following on from the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic, led to concerns about the potential risk of iatrogenic transmission of disease by blood transfusion and the introduction of costly ...

From Meat to Plant‐Based Products? The Enduring Impact of BSE on Beef Consumption

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study reassesses the impact of the historical BSE outbreak on EU diets, showing that consumption patterns shifted persistently even after policy actions eliminated the food safety risk. Utilizing advanced difference‐in‐differences techniques on 1980–2020 data, we demonstrate that while beef consumption exhibited a transient U‐shaped ...

Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.

Source of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease outside United Kingdom. [PDF]

, 2007
We studied the occurrence of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) outside the United Kingdom in relation to the incidence of indigenous bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and to the level of live bovines and bovine products imported from the UK ...

Risk Ranking of Microbiological Hazards in Food (2015–2019)

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Microbiological food safety risks arise from pathogens that can contaminate food at different points along the food chain. Exposure to these hazards can result in illnesses that can vary widely in severity and duration, depending on factors such as the specific pathogen involved, the amount of the pathogen ingested, and the susceptibility of ...
