[Transmissible animal spongiform encephalopathies. Epidemiologic aspects].
This article presents an update of data about the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies which affect some animal species, particularly bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Great britain and in other countries where this disease is sporadic. The genetic susceptibility of scrapie in sheep and the natural transmission of these spongiform encephalopathies are discussed. The control measures for public health and animal health are presented.
