Scrapie-Associated Tubulofilamentous Particles in Scrapie Hamsters
Intervirology, 1992 Examination of thin sections from the cerebral cortex of scrapie-infected hamster brains revealed characteristic circular 26-30 nm diameter tubulofilamentous particles, identical to those previously described in both experimentally induced scrapie in mice, hamsters and natural scrapie of sheep, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and human Creutzfeldt ...

Clinical Examination Protocol to Detect Atypical and Classical Scrapie in Sheep
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2014 The diagnosis of scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSEs) of sheep and goats, is currently based on the detection of disease-associated prion protein by post mortem tests.

Possible alignment of the EU BSE surveillance with the new WOAH provisions
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The European Commission requested the assessment of the capacity of the surveillance provisions of the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) to detect bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases (C‐, H‐ and L‐type) in the European Union (EU) and to propose if any current EU surveillance provisions should be kept.

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.

Epigenetic Modifications Influence Reproductive Traits in Small Ruminants
Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The epigenome undergoes dynamic changes shaped by the intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors, which are crucial for individual growth and development. Recent studies suggest that factors such as nutrition, thermal stress (TS), infections, and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) can influence epigenetic changes in small ruminants

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

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 ...
