title: [First description of scrapie in the free state of Bavaria--a case report].
abstract: We here report on the first case of scrapie in Bavaria. The post mortem of a six year old ewe of the breed German grey Heath with a suspected subclinical calcinosis revealed typical histopathological signs of a spongiform encephalopathy and immunohistochemistry was positive for PrPSc in the cervical part of the spinal cord. Eight out of 18 sheep of the herd showed clinical symptoms.
