Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Miniature Zebu [PDF]

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.

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

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,
