About

The Animal and Plant Health Agency awarded a contract to RSK ADAS Limited for a research project on Classical Scrapie in Iceland, serving as a model for prion diseases worldwide.

The project, part of the ICRAD initiative and jointly subcontracted with the University of Nottingham, involves multiple partners from six European countries and is coordinated by the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut.

The objectives include determining the extent of Prion protein gene variability in Icelandic sheep, analyzing prion biodiversity and zoonotic potential, assessing environmental persistence and decontamination effectiveness, and conducting epidemiological analysis to develop an economic model for CS response.

The work is organized into four interactive Work-Packages covering host genetics, prion strain evolution, environmental factors, and epidemiological analysis.

The contract value is AUD 93,965.
