Bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
BSE has occurred in the U.K. as an extended common source epidemic since 1985/86. The vehicle of infection was concentrated feeds containing meat and bone meal produced by the rendering of ovine, bovine and other animal wastes. The epidemic was probably initiated in 1981/82 when a sudden decline in the use of solvents in rendering allowed a low ...

Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles.
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

Proteinase K-Resistant Material in ARR/VRQ Sheep Brain Affected with Classical Scrapie Is Composed Mainly of VRQ Prion Protein [PDF]
Classical scrapie is a prion disease in sheep and goats. In sheep, susceptibility to disease is genetically influenced by single amino acid substitutions.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Infectivity in Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros)
Of all the species exposed naturally to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent, the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a nondomesticated bovine from Africa, appears to be the most susceptible to the disease.

Rapid Typing of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Strains with Differential ELISA
The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent has been transmitted to humans, leading to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Sheep and goats can be experimentally infected by BSE and have been potentially exposed to natural BSE; however, whether BSE ...

Small critical RNAs in the scrapie agent
Unconventional infectious agents cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases including scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in animals and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. The protein only hypothesis claims that the TSE

Atypical and classic bovine spongiform encephalopathy
This chapter describes the prion diseases of cattle, or bovine transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (BoTSEs). “Classic” bovine spongiform encephalopathy (C-BSE), the major prion protein disorder of Bovidae, was first described in 1986.
