Background. Sheep with prion protein (PrP) gene polymorphisms QQ171 and RQ171 were shown to be susceptible to the prion causing L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy (L-BSE), although RQ171 sheep ...
The first attempt to estimate the human health risk from possible BSE infection of the British sheep flock is published today by researchers from Imperial College, London. They show that while the ...
Top scientists have accused the British government of continually ignoring repeated requests for a nationwide sheep survey for signs of BSE, and of putting the public's health at risk as a consequence ...
January 10, 2002-- Although a great deal of uncertainty exists about whether bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, can be transmitted from cattle to sheep, researchers ...
New research suggesting that BSE is now a greater risk in sheep than cattle has led British scientists at London’s Imperial College to call for immediate action to protect consumers and screen the 40 ...
Resistance to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in sheep can be influenced by polymorphisms of the gene that encodes prion protein (PrP). In vitro conversion experiments showed that VRQ ...
