American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Exposures to human pathogens and toxins in licensed facilities in Canada have been monitored by a federal surveillance system since 2015, yet the affected persons (APs) in these incidents remain uncharacterized. This study comprehensively describes APs, highlighting sector‐specific patterns and trends over time.

Diagnosis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy: A review [PDF]
Veterinary Quarterly, 2000 Cows affected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) display chronic neurological signs consisting of behavioural changes, abnormalities of posture and movement, and/or hyperaesthesia. At present, there are no laboratory test available to diagnose BSE in the live animal. In this article, we describe the post-mortem diagnostic examination of brains

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

The role of host PrP in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies [PDF]
, 2007 PrP has a central role in the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), and mutations and polymorphisms in host PrP can profoundly alter the host's susceptibility to a TSE agent.

A study of the incubation period, or age at onset, of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies/prion diseases. [PDF]
In order to model epidemics of infectious diseases, particularly to estimate probable numbers of cases with onset at any particular time, it is necessaiy to incorporate a term for the incubation period frequency distribution. Sartwell's hypothesis states

Use of bovine recombinant prion protein and real-time quaking-induced conversion to detect cattle transmissible mink encephalopathy prions and discriminate classical and atypical L- and H-Type bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Prions are amyloid-forming proteins that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies through a process involving conversion from the normal cellular prion protein to the pathogenic misfolded conformation (PrPSc).
