Table 7 Comparison of total brain PrPd score with clinical TSE status
From: Monitoring of clinical signs in goats with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
Clinical status prior to cull | Mean total PrPdscore in brain (range) | Examples (goats monitored for clinical progression) |
|---|---|---|
No signs of TSE (N = 25) | 3.3 (0.2-20) | G08-1430: 0.5 |
Inconclusive (N = 7) | 4.3 (0.5-10.4) | G08-1365, G08-1383: 2.5; G08-1415: 3.5; G08-1451: 4 |
Scrapie suspect (N = 5) | 17.2 (7-27.5) | G08-1460: 7; G08-1373: 12; G08-1447: 20; G08-1475: 27.5 |
