Breeding German sheep for resistance to scrapie.

The Veterinary record - 28 Feb 2004

Drögemüller C, de Vries F, Hamann H, Leeb T, Distl O

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility to clinical scrapie is associated with polymorphisms in the prion protein (PrP) gene. The ARR allele reduces susceptibility to clinical disease caused by all known strains of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents. For the economically important German breeds of sheep the PrP allele frequencies are well known, but this paper presents representative genotyping results for 1526...
