[29] [30] Scrapie occurs in Europe and North America, but to date, Australia and New Zealand (both major sheep-producing countries) are scrapie-free. [31] In 2003, there was pressure from affected Canadian husbandry practitioners on the Chretien government and their CFIA to implement their own national scrapie plan.

The Uniform methods and rules are documents by the Veterinary Services office of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that specify the minimum standards for preventing, detecting, controlling, and/or eradicating a particular animal disease.
Codon 154 has not shown any evidence of having a high effect on scrapie susceptibility; however, codons 136 and 171 are thought to control the incubation time of the disease (Goldmann 1991; Goldmann 1990). Codon 171 has been determined to be the major genetic factor in scrapie susceptibility (Clouscard 1995; Westaway 1993).
Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) (formerly known as Protease Sensitive Prionopathy) is a sporadic prion protein disease first described in an abstract for a conference on prions in 2006, and this study was published in a 2008 report on 11 cases.
A North Ronaldsay sheep with twin lambs on the beach, with seals in the background. The sheep are descended from the Northern European short-tailed sheep.Their arrival onto North Ronaldsay is not known precisely but it may have been as early as the Iron Age, [4] or possibly even earlier, [5] [6] which would make them potentially the earliest ovines to arrive in Britain.
The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database [1] (dbSNP) is a free public archive for genetic variation within and across different species developed and hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
BSE is a degenerative infection of the central nervous system in cattle. It is a fatal disease, similar to scrapie in sheep and goats, caused by a prion.A major epizootic affected the UK, and to a lesser extent a number of other countries, between 1986 and the 2000s, infecting more than 190,000 animals, not counting those that remained undiagnosed.
