Different forms of the bovine PrP gene have five or six copies of a short, G-C-rich element within the protein-coding exon [PDF]

, 1991
Current models of the virus-like agents of scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have to take into account that structural changes in a host-encoded protein (PrP protein) exhibit an effect on the time course of these diseases and the ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Prnp Deletion Mitigates Muscle Fiber Type‐Specific Sarcopenia Induced by Prion Infection in Mice

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that significant expression of PrPC protein is also present in skeletal muscle, and it plays a significant role in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis. Although the expression of PrPC in skeletal muscle has been clarified, the effects of PrPSc‐mediated prion protein infection on sarcopenia in mice and its ...

Possible alignment of the EU BSE surveillance with the new WOAH provisions

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The European Commission requested the assessment of the capacity of the surveillance provisions of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) to detect bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases (C‐, H‐ and L‐type) in the European Union (EU) and to propose if any current EU surveillance provisions should be kept.

Review on prion diseases in animals with emphasis to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

Veterinary World, 2012
Prion diseases are known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). These are degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny microscopic holes that give the brain 'spongy' appearance.

Accumulation of L-type Bovine Prions in Peripheral Nerve Tissues

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
We recently reported the intraspecies transmission of L-type atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). To clarify the peripheral pathogenesis of L-type BSE, we studied prion distribution in nerve and lymphoid tissues obtained from experimentally ...

Intraspecific Contact Among White‐Tailed Deer: A Literature Review and Chronic Wasting Disease Case Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified five themes underlying research on intraspecific contact among white‐tailed deer: physical touch, social groups, spatial overlap, contact rates, and social networks. We found white‐tailed deer infected with chronic wasting disease exhibited similar rates of intraspecific contact as those without infections.
