the TSE of sheep and goats. A fatal brain disease.
A TSE that has afflicted sheep since the 1700s or before. Not known to be transmitted to humans.
A fatal, degenerative neurological disease of sheep and goats. Belonging to a family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), scrapie is similar to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) (mad cow), a disease of cattle. There is no scientific evidence to indicate that scrapie poses a risk to human health. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service conducts a Scrapie Flock Certification Program to certify scrapie-free herds and a Scrapie Eradication Program to accelerate the eradication of scrapie from the United States.
A common transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in sheep and goats.
TSE in Sheep and Goats Scrapie Overview
a fatal disease of sheep characterized by chronic itching and loss of muscular control and progressive degeneration of the central nervous system
A TSE in sheep. Known since the 1700s; does not infect people.
Scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy - a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats, believed to be caused by prions.
A disease, originally of sheep, but transmissible to other animals, characterized by neurological degeneration caused by accumulation of a structural variant of PrP.
a TSE disease (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy),caused by a prion, similar to "mad cow disease" . Scrapie has been recognized for 200 years. So far it is not believed to be transferred to humans.
the form of TSE that occurs in sheep and goats. It is the oldest known TSE, having been recognised for over two hundred years, it is thought to have originated in Spain and spread throughout the rest of Europe and the world through the trade of live animals, although it does not occur in either Australia or New Zealand.
The TSE of sheep or goats.
Long established disease of sheep that causes intense irritation: cause unknown, thought to be neither bacteria or virus. (see BSE)
popular name given to sheep spongiform encephalopathy, a degenerative neurological disease similar to BSE.
Scrapie is a disease, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, similar to nvCJD that occurs in sheep, goats and other animals.
Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease that affects the nervous systems of sheep and goats. It is one of several transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), which are related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or "mad cow disease") and chronic wasting disease of deer. Like other spongiform encephalopathies, scrapie is believed to be caused by a prion.
