متن کاملDetection and Control of Prion Diseases in Food Animals
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, represent a unique form of infectious disease based on misfolding of a self-protein (PrP(C)) into a pathological, infectious conformation (PrP(Sc)). Prion diseases of food animals gained notoriety during the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) outbreak of the 1980s. In particular, disease transmission to humans, to the gene...
