PT historical article; letter

VT Sir - It has been postulated that BSE is not a variant of scrapie accidentally acquired by Bos taurus but more probably a specific bovine disease associated with cows. Scrapie has been known for more than 200 years but a French veterinary surgeon in southern France, M. Sarradet, described as early as 1883 "a case of scrapie in an ox" (Rev. Veterinaire 3, 310-312; 1883).

IN Der Autor macht mit der Quellenangabe Rev. Vétérinaire 1883; 3: 310-312 darauf aufmerksam, dass der französische Veterinär M. Sarradet bereits 1883 einen Fall von Scrapie bei einem Ochsen in Südfrankreich beschrieb.
