It was found that one scrapie-affected Suffolk was homozygous for PrPMARR and four PrPSc-positive Suffolks carried PrPMVRQ, suggesting that this allele associates with high incidence of scrapie in Corriedale and its cross-breeds.
First Detection of Ehrlichia platys in Dogs and Ticks in Okinawa, Japan
There is a cyclic maintenance of E. platys between dogs and ticks in Okinawa and the nucleotide sequences of the amplified DNA fragment from the dogs and the ticks infesting them were identical, and the sequence corresponded to that of the E. Platys Gzh981 strain.

One sheep euthanased 18 months after experimental infection was positive for PrP in the CNS, spleen and lymph node, but five other sheep which were killed or died two, eight, 16, 18 and 21 months after infection were negative or doubtful for the detection of PrP.

Since cattle breeding is more extensive in the western and eastern areas than in the northern area, it is thought that cattle-breeding areas are foci of R. conorii and C. burnetii infections in Zambia.
