Assessing the efficacy of a ram-genotyping programme to reduce susceptibility to scrapie in Great Britain.

Preventive veterinary medicine - 30 Dec 2002

Arnold M, Meek C, Webb C R, Hoinville L J

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility to clinical scrapie is associated with polymorphisms in the PrP gene. The 'ARR' allele of this gene reduces susceptibility to clinical disease caused by all known strains of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agent. The British government proposes to use a ram-genotyping scheme to breed genetic resistance to clinical scrapie into the national sheep population. We considered how best...
