Transmissible mink encephalopathy

Other animal prion diseases. Outbreaks of transmissible mink encephalopathy and chronic wasting disease in captive populations of mink, mule deer and elk in certain regions of the U.S.A. have also been attributed to prion-infected foodstuffs, although the origin of prion infection is unclear [8], Epidemiological studies suggest lateral transmission as the most plausible explanation for the spread of chronic wasting disease in captive populations... [Pg.792]

Initial evidence that strain diversity may be enciphered in the structure of PrPSc was provided in studies with two strains of transmissible mink encephalopathy passaged in hamsters, designated hyper (HY) and drowsy (DY) [155]. It was found that the PK-resistant core of PrPSc from DY is 2 kDa smaller than that from HY, implying that the two PrPSc strains have different cleavage sites and, thus, different conformations [156]. Following this historically important observation, distinct conformational properties of HY and DY PrPSc were corroborated in studies... [Pg.152]

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a group of rare, fatal, and transmissible neurodegenerative diseases, which, in addition to scrapie and BSE, include chronic wasting disease (CWD) in mule deer (Williams and Young, 1980) and elk (Williams and Young, 1982), and transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) (Marsh and Kimberlin,... [Pg.2]
