Abstrakt: This article presents a study which investigated the pathologic changes and diagnostic results of the first six cases of Nor98 scrapie disease diagnosed in sheep of the U.S. It is noted that distinctions between classic scrapie and Nor98 scrapie are developed using histopathology and immunodiagnostic results. Results of the study indicate that sheep that have genotypes associated with resistance to classic scrapie are not spared from the disease.
