Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in the UK: An Update

, 1991
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, BSE, was first diagnosed in England in November 1986. It is a slow disease and the incubation period varies between two and five years, and so mainly affects cows.

Experimental transfusion of variant CJD-infected blood reveals previously uncharacterised prion disorder in mice and macaque

Nature Communications, 2017
It is hypothesised that exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy through contaminated food could have resulted in a large proportion of latent variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cases in humans. Here the authors demonstrate that inoculation with blood

Transmission of New Bovine Prion to Mice

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We previously reported that cattle were affected by a prion disorder that differed from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) by showing distinct molecular features of disease-associated protease-resistant prion protein (PrPres).

Modeling localized deer removal strategies for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We used an agent‐based model developed for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Midwestern white‐tailed deer to assess localized deer removal strategies and how local conditions affect management outcomes. Parcel‐based and ring culling were most effective at reducing CWD prevalence and persistence, and transmission was always greater at greater deer ...

All clinically-relevant blood components transmit prion disease following a single blood transfusion: a sheep model of vCJD [PDF]

, 2011
Variant CJD (vCJD) is an incurable, infectious human disease, likely arising from the consumption of BSE-contaminated meat products. Whilst the epidemic appears to be waning, there is much concern that vCJD infection may be perpetuated in humans by the ...

Transmission of Atypical Bovine Prions to Mice Transgenic for Human Prion Protein

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To assess risk for cattle-to-human transmission of prions that cause uncommon forms of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), we inoculated mice expressing human PrP Met129 with field isolates.

Prion diseases, blood and the immune system: concerns and reality

Haematologica, 2000
There is a great amount of uncertainty about the nature of the agent which causes spongiform encephalopathies. In recent years the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy and of new variant-Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, has raised concerns that ...

The Molecular Pathology of Prion Diseases [PDF]

Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorders. Uniquely, they may present as sporadic, inherited, or infectious forms, all of which involve conversion of the normal ...
