Excretion of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Infectivity in Urine [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 The route of transmission of most naturally acquired transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) infections remains speculative. To investigate urine as a potential source of TSE exposure, we used a sensitive method for detection and quantitation of ...

Improving Clinical Diagnosis of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies in Sheep: Which Signs Are Important? [PDF]
AnimalsScrapie is a notifiable transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in sheep that relies on clinical examinations for reporting suspects. A short examination protocol was used in 1002 sheep to define clinical markers suggestive of scrapie.

Rapid Typing of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Strains with Differential ELISA [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent has been transmitted to humans, leading to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Sheep and goats can be experimentally infected by BSE and have been potentially exposed to natural BSE; however, whether BSE ...

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2008 Abstract Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases of humans and animals. TSEs are believed to be caused by neuronal accumulation of a protease-resistant abnormal conformer of a host-encoded protein known as prion protein.

PINK1-parkin-mediated neuronal mitophagy deficiency in prion disease
Cell Death and Disease, 2022 A persistent accumulation of damaged mitochondria is part of prion disease pathogenesis. Normally, damaged mitochondria are cleared via a major pathway that involves the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) that together initiate ...
