Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathies, France, 2001–2007

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
In France, through exhaustive active surveillance, ≈17.1 million adult cattle were tested for bovine spongiform encephalopathy from July 2001 through July 2007; ≈3.6 million were >8 years of age.

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

open access: yesVeterinary 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.

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

No Adaptation of the Prion Strain in a Heterozygous Case of Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We investigated a clinical case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in a person heterozygous for methionine/valine at codon 129 of the prion protein gene and identified the same strain properties in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in methionine ...

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

open access: yesAgricultural 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 ...

Current status of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in ruminants [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2004
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) encompass subacute neurological degenerative diseases for which the prototypes are scrapie in sheep and some forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in man. The emergence of a new form of TSE in cattle in United

Asynchronous Onset of Clinical Disease in BSE-Infected Macaques

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To estimate the effect of the variability of prion disease onset on primary bovine spongiform encephalopathy transmission to humans, we studied 6 cynomolgus macaques.

Detection and localisation of PrP(Sc) in the liver of sheep infected with scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Prions are largely contained within the nervous and lymphoid tissue of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) infected animals. However, following advances in diagnostic sensitivity, PrP(Sc), a marker for prion disease, can now be located in a ...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Update

open access: yesActa Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2002
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a zoonosis being the origin of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and an important cattle disease in its own right. Countries have been slow to learn the importance of protecting, not only their cattle populations, but also their human populations.

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

open access: yesBrain 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.
