Abstract excerpt
Ovine scrapie is a worldwide spread prion disease that is transmitted horizontally under field conditions. Placenta from scrapie-infected ewes is an important source of infection, since this tissue can accumulate high amounts of PrPSc depending on the foetal genotype. Therefore, placentas carrying susceptible foetuses can accumulate PrPSc but there is not PrPSc accumulation in presence of foetuses with at least...
