Breeding with resistant rams leads to rapid control of classical scrapie in affected sheep flocks [PDF]

, 2011
Susceptibility to scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in sheep, is modulated by the genetic make-up of the sheep. Scrapie control policies, based on selecting animals of resistant genotype for breeding, have recently been adopted by the ...
