Prions are misshapen proteins that cause brain degeneration in conditions such as mad cow disease and scrapie in animals, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans. They can get into you if you eat infected meat or receiveinfected blood, but it was thought they couldn’t spread through air. No...
IN mice injected with mouse-passaged scrapie, the earliest rise in titre of agent is found in organs of the lymphoreticular system-irrespective of whether the injection is intracerebral or by a peripheral route. The titre of agent in the spleen, for example, can rise fairly quickly to a ...

To understand the possible role of mixed-prion infections in disease presentation, the current study reports the co-infection of sheep with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie. The bovine BSE agent was inoculated subcutaneously into sheep with ARQ/ARQ or VRQ/ARQgenotypes either at ...
