A progressive, fatal spongiform polioencephalopathy was induced in mink intracerebrally inoculated with a suspension of brain from a Suffolk sheep with naturally acquired scrapie. The clinical signs and pathological lesions of the experimental disease were indistinguishable from transmissible mink encephalopathy, a disease of undetermined origin that occurs in mink.
将患有自然感染羊瘙痒病的萨福克绵羊的脑悬液经脑内接种水貂后，引发了一种进行性、致死性海绵状脑灰质炎。该实验性疾病的临床症状和病理损伤与可传播水貂脑病难以区分，后者是一种病因不明、发生于水貂的疾病。
