Chronic Wasting Disease of Deer and Elk

A

State-federal cooperative program

81
Q

What are the basic rules for scrapie animal ID tags?

All breeding animals except low-risk commercial goats
Goats in contact with sheep
Sheep and goats going to exhibitions/fairs except wethers

When in doubt - tag

82

A

Clinical signs
Histopath on the brain stem and spinal cord
Blood test
IHC on rectal biopsy

83
Q

How does the Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification (PMCA) work?

A

The sample is mixed with normal brain tissue
If present, prion protein acts as a template and chains of abnormal protein form
Sample is exposed to ultrasound to break up protein chains
Sample has many more templates and is allowed to form new chains (amplification)

84
Q

What sampling programs are available for Scrapie?

A

Regulatory Scrapie Slaughter Surveillance
Vets and owners can submit samples for testing
Scrapie Flock Certification program

85
