Intra- and interspecies interactions between prion proteins and effects of mutations and polymorphisms [PDF]
, 2003 Recently, crystallization of the prion protein in a dimeric form was reported. Here we show that native soluble homogenous FLAG-tagged prion proteins from hamster, man and cattle expressed in the baculovirus system are predominantly dimeric.

Lentiviral-mediated gene transfer to the sheep brain: Implications for gene therapy in batten disease [PDF]
, 2011 The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs; Batten disease) are inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases with common clinical features of blindness and seizures culminating in premature death. Gene-therapy strategies for these diseases depend

Epidemiological information in sheep health management [PDF]
, 2010 We use epidemiology whenever we consider the management of sheep health. To measure a disease, we need a precise and unique case definition and we often use diagnostic tests to assist in defining a disease. Diagnostic tests are not always accurate. Thus,

Human plague associated with Tibetan sheep originates in marmots
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 The Qinghai-Tibet plateau is a natural plague focus and is the largest such focus in China. In this area, while Marmota himalayana is the primary host, a total of 18 human plague outbreaks associated with Tibetan sheep (78 cases with 47 deaths) have been

Can parasitic gastro-enteritis be used as an indicator of welfare in organic sheep? [PDF]
, 2002 This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Organic livestock standards are designed to deliver good animal welfare but without an objective means of assessing welfare, it is difficult to know if they succeed.
