Popis: Virological, histological, and electron microscopy methods were used to study the features of the infectious process in minks infected with scrapie agent as compared with that in minks infected with the agent of mink transmissive encephalopathy and in mice infected with scrapie. The results of the study showed the similarity in the clinical picture and the pattern of histological and ultramicroscopic lesions in minks infected with either of the agents. On the basis of the authors' own data and those from the literature, the relationship among the agents of the diseases comprising the group of subacute transmissive spongiform encephalopathies is discussed.
