Prion diseases are infectious neurodegenerative diseases occurring in humans and animals
with an invariably lethal outcome. One fundamental mechanistic event in prion diseases is …

Atypical/Nor98 scrapie cases in sheep were diagnosed for the first time in Norway in 1998.

Prions cause fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative disease. These etiological
infectious agents are formed in greater part from a misfolded cell-surface protein called …

Background The development of active surveillance programmes for transmissible
