Interspecies transmission studies afford the opportunity to better understand the potential
host range and origins of prion diseases. The purpose of this experiment was to determine …

The majority of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases have been ascribed to the
classical form of the disease. H-type and L-type BSE cases have atypical molecular profiles …

Cattle could be exposed to the agent of chronic wasting disease (CWD) through contact with
infected farmed or free-ranging cervids or exposure to contaminated premises. The purpose …

Since 1987, when bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) emerged as a novel disease in
cattle, enormous efforts were undertaken to monitor and control the disease in ruminants …
