Scrapie Resistance Gene Identification using Optimized Taqman Test qPCR Method in Sheep on the Territory of the Republic of Serbia

Scrapie is an infectious neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats that belongs to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The disease is caused by the accumulation of proteinase-resistant isoform of the prion protein. The sheep predisposition to scrapie is...
