Administration of L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy to Macaques to Evaluate Zoonotic Potential [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWe administered L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions to macaques to determine their potential for transmission to humans. After 75 months, no clinical symptoms appeared, and prions were undetectable in any tissue by Western blot or ...
