AB The scrapie agent (compton strain) proved to be transmitted from mice to hamsters; incubation period of the disease was 5 to 6 months. The scrapie agent was passaged ten times with brain tissue suspension. The scrapie agent was revealed in the spinal cord and spleen, but none was found in the liver, kidneys, suprarenal glands and the lungs of infected animals during the last stage of the disease.
