In article <1990Feb26.215335.7503@cs.wmich.edu> ferguson@cs.wmich.edu (Jon Ferguson) writes: > >Does anyone have any current information on the status of hypotheses about the nature of the agent causing scrapie (a disease of sheep and goats) or related diseases (Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease, kuru, mink encephalopathy)? > There was a neat recent article in Science, 2 Feb 1990 (v. 247, p. 523) "Virus-Lake Agent Blamed for Mad Cow Disease", by Jeremy Cherfas. The conjecture was that 'scrapie' was being spread to cattle because sheep 'unfit for human consumption' sometimes end up in the meat and bone meals fed to recently-weaned calves. It is a 1-page article. David Mark dmark@cs.buffalo.edu
