Prion remains infectious after passage through digestive system of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos).

PLoS ONE, 2012
Avian scavengers, such as American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos), have potential to translocate infectious agents (prions) of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) diseases including chronic wasting disease, scrapie, and bovine spongiform ...

Phenotype shift from atypical scrapie to CH1641 following experimental transmission in sheep.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The interactions of host and infecting strain in ovine transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are known to be complex, and have a profound effect on the resulting phenotype of disease.

Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies [PDF]

, 2012
Neuronal death represents the primary pathology of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. These diseases usually present with a slow onset and a chronic progression. Various regions of the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves may be affected, leading to functional impairment and ...

Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles. [PDF]

, 2006
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

Molecular Typing of Protease-Resistant Prion Protein in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies of Small Ruminants, France, 2002–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
The agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) may be infecting small ruminants, which could have serious implications for human health. To distinguish BSE from scrapie and to examine the molecular characteristics of the protease-resistant ...

Brief review on the epidemiology of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE)

, 2006
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) form a group of human and animal diseases that share common features such as (a) distinct pathological lesions in the central nervous system, (b) transmissibility at least in experimental settings, and (c ...

Review: A review on classical and atypical scrapie in caprine: Prion protein gene polymorphisms and their role in the disease

Animal, 2016
Scrapie is a naturally occurring transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in sheep and goat. It has been known for ~250 years and is characterised by the accumulation of an abnormal isoform of a host-encoded prion protein that leads to progressive ...

Review on prion diseases in animals with emphasis to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

Veterinary World, 2012
Prion diseases are known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). These are degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny microscopic holes that give the brain 'spongy' appearance.
