Coping with uncertainty in public health: the use of heuristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The observation that experts and lay people use cognitive shortcuts or heuristics to arrive at judgements about complex problems is certainly not new.

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

open access: yesFood 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

Autoclave treatment of the classical scrapie agent US No. 13-7 and experimental inoculation to susceptible VRQ/ARQ sheep via the oral route results in decreased transmission efficiency.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Scrapie, a prion disease of sheep, is highly resistant to conventional deactivation. Numerous methods to deactivate scrapie have been tested in laboratory animal models, and adequate autoclave treatment can reduce or remove the infectivity of some ...

Pathogenetical significance of porencephalic lesions associated with intracerebral inoculation of sheep with the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Crosstalk Between Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts and Immune Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesMedComm – 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 ...

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 41, November 6, 2025.
This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

Classic Scrapie in Sheep with the ARR/ARR Prion Genotype in Germany and France

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
In the past, natural scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) infections have essentially not been diagnosed in sheep homozygous for the A136R154R171 haplotype of the prion protein.

Lambs with scrapie susceptible genotypes have higher postnatal survival. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Prion protein (PrP) alleles associated with scrapie susceptibility persist in many sheep populations even with high frequencies despite centuries of selection against them.

Japanese Scrapie Cases

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
Worldwide attention has been given to scrapie, because bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) could be experimentally transmitted to sheep. This ovine form of BSE was clinically identical to scrapie. In Japanese scrapie cases, a majority of the diseased sheep were from Suffolk, while 8 cases were from Corriedale.
