Abstract
Making use of PrP genotypes to predict accurately the response of any sheep to scrapie infection, this project has been set up to find out which tissues of sheep become infected at which stages following infection. A study of naturally infected sheep is running in parallel with one in which sheep will be artificially infected with experimental scrapie. Knowing how scrapie travels through peripheral tissues to reach the CNS will give important pointers to the modes of natural transmission of scrapie between sheep.
