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.

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.

Differentiation of ruminant transmissible spongiform encephalopathy isolate types, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy and CH1641 scrapie [PDF]
, 2010 With increased awareness of the diversity of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) strains in the ruminant population, comes an appreciation of the need for improved methods of differential diagnosis. Exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (
