This project seeks to understand the molecular biology of prions to control Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and its human variant. It addresses key questions about prion transmission, decontamination, and risk assessment to inform public health policies.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) started, 20 years ago, a devastating health and food crisis throughout Europe.
Classical BSE is now under control as a result of the meat and bone meal ban.
However, tonsil analyses suggest that there may be an alarmingly high number of asymptomatic PrPSc positive cases.
