BSE can propagate in sheep co-infected or pre-infected with scrapie
Scientific Reports, 2021 To understand the possible role of mixed-prion infections in disease presentation, the current study reports the co-infection of sheep with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie.

Evolutionary biology and the risk of scrapie disease in sheep [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2018 Scrapie in sheep occurs in two forms. Classical scrapie, along with chronic wasting disease in deer, differs from all other prion diseases in being contagious and occurring as propagating epidemics.

Diagnosis in Scrapie: Conventional Methods and New Biomarkers
Pathogens, 2023 Scrapie, a naturally occurring prion disease affecting goats and sheep, comprises classical and atypical forms, with classical scrapie being the archetype of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Prion Evolvability and the Hazard of Atypical Scrapie in Small Ruminants
Open Veterinary Science, 2020 Observations on strain behaviour and direct demonstrations of natural selection establish that the scrapie agent and prions in general are able to evolve.

Iron and iron/manganese ratio in forage from Icelandic sheep farms: relation to scrapie
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2006 This study was undertaken in order to examine whether any connection existed between the amounts of iron in forage and the sporadic occurrence of scrapie observed in certain parts of Iceland.

BMC Veterinary Research, 2008 Background The development of active surveillance programmes for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies of small ruminants across Europe has led to the recent identification of a previously undetected form of ovine prion disease, 'atypical' scrapie ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 Nor98-like atypical scrapie is a sporadic disease that affects the central nervous system of sheep and goats that, in contrast to classical scrapie, is not generally regarded as naturally transmissible.

Classical scrapie in small ruminants is caused by at least four different prion strains
Veterinary Research, 2021 The diversity of goat scrapie strains in Europe has recently been studied using bioassays in a wide collection of rodent models, resulting in the classification of classical scrapie into four different categories.

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2008 Background Preliminary studies indicated decreased glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in blood of ewes on scrapie-afflicted farms. Other studies have shown decreased GPX activity in brain of prion-infected mice and in prion-infected cells in vitro ...

BMC Veterinary Research, 2010 Background During the last decade, active surveillance for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in small ruminants has been intensive in Europe. In many countries this has led to the detection of cases of atypical scrapie which, unlike classical ...
