Tree Number(s): C01.207.800.260; C10.228.228.800.260; C10.574.843.300; C22.196.250
Unique ID: D016643
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016643
Annotation: if transmitted to man, coord IM (with probably /‌transm) with specific brain or other neurol dis in text (IM); if transmitted to another species of animal, coord IM (with probably /‌transm) with animal/dis precoord (IM) and specific animal IM or NIM
Scope Note: A transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cattle associated with abnormal prion proteins in the brain. Affected animals develop excitability and salivation followed by ATAXIA. This disorder has been associated with consumption of SCRAPIE infected ruminant derived protein. This condition may be transmitted to humans, where it is referred to as variant or new variant CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME. (Vet Rec 1998 Jul 25;143(41):101-5)
