Pathogenetical significance of porencephalic lesions associated with intracerebral inoculation of sheep with the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent [PDF]
, 2009 Decreased rates of transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) to sheep have been attributed to some polymorphisms of the prion protein (PrP) and to a ‘species barrier’ on interspecies experiments.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

PLoS ONE, 2011 The possibility of the agent causing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) infecting small ruminants is of serious concern for human health. Among scrapie cases, the CH1641 source in particular appears to have certain biochemical properties similar to ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 50-67, January 2026.ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is essential for the sustainability and adaptability of populations, and is thus a central pillar of the agro‐ecological transition. However, within a population, it is inevitable that some amount of genetic variability is lost, and efforts must be made to limit this as much as possible.

The limits of test-based scrapie eradication programs in goats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Small ruminant post-mortem testing programs were initially designed for monitoring the prevalence of prion disease. They are now considered as a potential alternative to genetic selection for eradicating/controlling classical scrapie at population level.

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Evidence of scrapie transmission via milk
BMC Veterinary Research, 2008 Background The risk of scrapie infection increases with increased duration and proximity of contact between sheep at lambing. Scrapie infectivity has not been detected in milk but cellular prion protein, the precursor of disease-associated prion protein ...

Incidence of infection in Prnp ARR/ARR sheep following experimental inoculation with or natural exposure to classical scrapie. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The prion protein gene (Prnp) is highly influential in determining risk and susceptibility of sheep exposed to classical scrapie. Sheep homozygous for alanine at codon 136 and arginine at codons 154 and 171 (ARR/ARR) of the Prnp gene are historically ...

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are widely engaged in tumor progression in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs interact actively with immunocytes including tumor‐associated macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, and NK cells in a positive‐feedback loop to sculpt tumor immune microenvironment and participate in tumor activities and antitumor therapy ...
