Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Genotyping and surveillance for scrapie in Finnish sheep

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background The progression of scrapie is known to be influenced by the amino acid polymorphisms of the host prion protein (PrP) gene. There is no breeding programme for TSE resistance in sheep in Finland, but a scrapie control programme has been in place

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

Variability in disease phenotypes within a single PRNP genotype suggests the existence of multiple natural sheep scarpie strains within Europe [PDF]

, 2010
Variability of pathological phenotypes within classical sheep scrapie cases has been reported for some time, but in many instances it has been attributed to differences in the PRNP genotype of the host.

A Case–Control Study on the Origin of Atypical Scrapie in Sheep, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
A matched case–control study (95 cases and 220 controls) was designed to study risk factors for atypical scrapie in sheep in France. We analyzed contacts with animals from other flocks, lambing and feeding practices, and exposure to toxic substances ...

Pruritus is a common feature in sheep infected with the BSE agent. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: The variability in the clinical or pathological presentation of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in sheep, such as scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been attributed to prion protein genotype, strain ...

Effect of incineration, co‐incineration and combustion on TSE hazards in category 1 animal by‐products

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA to assess the effect of incineration, co‐incineration and combustion of Category 1 animal by‐products (ABP) on the BSE/TSE hazards in ash resulting from these treatments. The presence of residual TSE hazards is assessed by detection of prion infectivity or seeding activity.

Prion Protein Endoproteolysis: Cleavage Sites, Mechanisms and Connections to Prion Disease

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 1, January 2025.
Endoproteolytic cleavage events affect the ability of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to serve as a substrate for template‐mediated conversion into a misfolded isoform denoted PrPSc, a process integral to the pathogenesis of the fatal neurodegenerative disorders either known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or as prion diseases.
