Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys. [PDF]

Microbiol Immunol
ABSTRACT 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.

BSE-associated Prion-Amyloid Cardiomyopathy in Primates

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Prion amyloidosis occurred in the heart of 1 of 3 macaques intraperitoneally inoculated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions. This macaque had a remarkably long duration of disease and signs of cardiac distress. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,

RT-QuIC detection of pathological prion protein in subclinical goats following experimental oral transmission of L-type BSE

BMC Research Notes, 2021
Objective The spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent to small ruminants is still a major issue in the surveillance of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (L-BSE) is an atypical form of

Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Miniature Zebu

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The first case of spongiform encephalopathy in a zebu (Bos indicus) was identified in a zoo in Switzerland. Although histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses of the central nervous system indicated a diagnosis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (

Molecular Discrimination of Sheep Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy from Scrapie

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Sheep CH1641-like transmissible spongiform encephalopathy isolates have shown molecular similarities to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) isolates. We report that the prion protein PrPSc from sheep BSE is extremely resistant to denaturation.

An overview of animal prion diseases

Virology Journal, 2011
Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative conditions affecting human and a wide range of animal species. The pathogenesis of prion diseases is associated with the accumulation of aggregates of misfolded conformers of host-encoded cellular prion ...

Phenotypic Similarity of Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy in Cattle and L-type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Mouse Model

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Transmissible mink encepholapathy (TME) is a foodborne transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of ranch-raised mink; infection with a ruminant TSE has been proposed as the cause, but the precise origin of TME is unknown.
