(GB), scrapie remains the most prevalent animal Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy …

The aim of this study was to apply a back-calculation model to Great Britain (GB) classical
scrapie surveillance data, and use this model to estimate how many more cases might be …

Extensive surveillance for classical scrapie has been carried out in Great Britain since 1993,
