Natural scrapie and PrP genotype: case-control studies in British sheep.

The Veterinary record - 9 Aug 1997

Hunter N, Goldmann W, Foster J D, Cairns D, Smith G

Abstract excerpt

Natural scrapie in sheep is associated with polymorphisms of the PrP gene, particularly at amino acid codons 136, 154 and 171. This paper reports the results of nine scrapie case-control studies in Bleu du Maine, Herdwick, Merino x Shetland, Poll Dorset, Scottish Halfbred, Shetland, Soay, Suffolk and Swaledale sheep from British flocks affected by scrapie. In some outbreaks, scrapie was found to occur only in...
