PARASOL - Novel solutions for the sustainable control of nematodes in ruminants
Description:
In light of the known ability of the BSE agent to cross the animal/human species barrier, recent evidence establishing the presence of BSE in goat is especially alarming, as it represents a new potential risk of food-born contamination to human consumers of goat milk and meat products. The main objective is to determine the tissue distribution of BSE after oral exposure of goats and to do this while simultaneously generating indispensable data on genetic susceptibility in the most common used production breeds.
