Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the correlation between restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the scrapie-associated fibril protein (PrP) gene and the incidence of natural scrapie in British sheep during the period from July 1988 to November 1990. Sixty percent of the scrapie-positive animals studied...
