The evidence of associations between prion protein genotype and production, reproduction, and health traits in sheep.

Veterinary research - 1 Jan 2000

Sweeney Torres, Hanrahan John P

Abstract excerpt

The EU Commission issued a regulation in 2003, which requires all member states to implement a breeding programme for resistance to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep by selecting for specific alleles of the prion protein (PrP) gene. A key concern with regard to this regulation was that the intensive selection programmes, designed to increase resistance to scrapie, may have a negative impact on a...
