Transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) is a prion disease of mink, similar to BSE in cattle and scrapie in sheep. A 1985 outbreak of TME in Stetsonville, Wisconsin resulted in a 60% mortality rate for the minks. [57] Further testing revealed this agent is transmissible between mink, cattle, and sheep.
Aside from CWD, prion diseases among animals include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as “mad cow disease”; scrapie, the same virus in sheep; transmissible mink ...
Scrapie and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by prions. [19] Prions were determined to be the infectious agent because transmission is difficult to prevent with heat, radiation and disinfectants, the agent does not evoke any detectable immune response, and it has a long incubation period of between 18 months and 5 years.
