Bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Update

Acta 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.

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.

No H- and L-type cases in Belgium in cattle diagnosed with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (1999-2008) aging seven years and older [PDF]

, 2010
Background The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic presented homogeneity of the phenotype. This classical BSE (called C-type) was probably due to the contamination of the food chain by a single prion strain.

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 ...

Cellular distribution of the prion protein in palatine tonsils of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) [PDF]

, 2019
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects members of the Cervidae family, including deer (Odocoileus spp.), elk (Cervus Canadensis spp.), and moose (Alces alces spp.).

Oral Transmission of L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Agent among Cattle

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
To determine oral transmissibility of the L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion, we orally inoculated 16 calves with brain homogenates of the agent. Only 1 animal, given a high dose, showed signs and died at 88 months. These results suggest
