Clinical findings in two cases of atypical scrapie in sheep: a case report [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2007 Background Atypical scrapie is a recently recognised form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of sheep that differs from classical scrapie in its neuropathological and biochemical features.

The prevalence of atypical scrapie in sheep from positive flocks is not higher than in the general sheep population in 11 European countries [PDF]
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 ...

The distribution of four trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) in forage and the relation to scrapie in Iceland [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2010 Background Previous studies indicated that the iron (Fe)/manganese (Mn) ratio in forage of sheep was significantly higher on scrapie-afflicted farms than on farms in other scrapie categories.

Scrapie versus Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWhite-tailed deer are susceptible to scrapie (WTD scrapie) after oronasal inoculation with the classical scrapie agent from sheep. Deer affected by WTD scrapie are difficult to differentiate from deer infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD).

Atypical/Nor98 Scrapie Infectivity in Sheep Peripheral Tissues [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Atypical/Nor98 scrapie was first identified in 1998 in Norway. It is now considered as a worldwide disease of small ruminants and currently represents a significant part of the detected transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) cases in Europe ...

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.
