Steve: Your explanation of prions and their relationship to mammalian diseases was a good as we understand them, but just a minor correction: Prions are suspected of causing "scrapie" in sheep, not scabies. Scabies strikes many animals and is caused by a mite. "Scrapie" was so named becuase of infected sheep habitually scraping their wool on fenceposts, etc. Otherwise, you did a nice job.... Lori
