Scrapie resistance and production traits in Rambouillet rams: ram performance test 2002-2006.

Research in veterinary science - 1 Oct 2008

Alexander Brenda M, Stobart Robert H, Moss Gary E

Abstract excerpt

Sheep possessing alleles for the prion protein with glutamine (Q) or histidine, both reported as Q, at codon 171 are highly susceptible to scrapie. Incidence of scrapie infection is rare when animals possess at least one allele for arginine (R) at codon 171. The current USDA APHIS scrapie eradication program utilizes genotyping for alleles that confer resistance to scrapie. Although it has not been a criterion of...
