Food agency acts to allay fears over scrapie scare
UK - The Veterinary Laboratories Agency, which is the UK’s official animal health headquarters based in Surrey, confirmed yesterday that it is investigating a previously unknown case of the sheep brain disease scrapie, discovered in a dead animal subject to a post-mortem examination in England. This disease has been tenuously connected with BSE in cattle and, by implication, with variant CJD in the human population.Source: The Scotsman
