Eliminating Spiked Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Agent Activity from Heparin [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 US manufacturers, concerned about bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), ceased marketing bovine heparin in the 1990s. Recent short supplies of safe porcine heparin suggest that reintroducing bovine heparin might benefit public health.

Experimental Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in Squirrel Monkeys: The Same Complex Proteinopathy Appearing after Very Different Incubation Times [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Incubation periods in humans infected with transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents can exceed 50 years. In humans infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agents, the effects of a “species barrier,” often observed when TSE ...

Biodegradation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions in compost [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 To reduce the transmission risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions (PrPBSE), specified risk materials (SRM) that can harbour PrPBSE are prevented from entering the feed and food chains.

Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys. [PDF]
Microbiol ImmunolABSTRACT Among the three prion strains of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), classical BSE (C‐BSE) prions are known causative agents of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. By contrast, human infections with L‐type (L‐) or H‐type (H‐) BSE prions have not been reported.

Evidence for more cost-effective surveillance options for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie in Great Britain. [PDF]
Euro Surveill, 2017 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are an important public health concern. Since the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) during the 1980s and its link with human Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease, active surveillance has been a key

Susceptibility of European red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus) to alimentary challenge with bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 European red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus) are susceptible to the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, one of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, when challenged intracerebrally but their susceptibility to alimentary challenge, the ...

Generation of a persistently infected MDBK cell line with natural bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a zoonotic transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) thought to be caused by the same prion strain as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).

Administration of L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy to Macaques to Evaluate Zoonotic Potential [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWe administered L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions to macaques to determine their potential for transmission to humans. After 75 months, no clinical symptoms appeared, and prions were undetectable in any tissue by Western blot or ...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy [PDF]
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2009 Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is an infectious disease of cattle that is transmitted through the consumption of meat-and-bone meal from infected cattle. The etiologic agent is an aberrant isoform of the native cellular prion protein that is a normal component of neurologic tissue.
