Monitoring of clinical signs in goats with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
BMC Veterinary Research, 2010 Background As there is limited information about the clinical signs of BSE and scrapie in goats, studies were conducted to describe the clinical progression of scrapie and BSE in goats and to evaluate a short clinical protocol for its use in detecting ...

Evaluation of Antemortem Diagnostic Techniques in Goats Naturally Infected With Scrapie
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Scrapie is a naturally occurring transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects sheep and goats. Sheep and goats can be infected with scrapie as lambs or kids via contact with the placenta or placental fluids, or from ingestion of prions shed
