Scrapie -- United States
Samples for scrapie surveillance were collected from targeted sheep and goats at 206 sites in 41 states. Over 42 000 sheep and goats were tested for scrapie in the fiscal year 2017 (1 Oct 2016 to 30 Sep 2017).
No sheep have tested positive for classical scrapie since April 2016 (see: ProMED-mail. Scrapie, sheep - USA: (TX) http://bit.ly/2EXp5pa).
Other than one goat in a herd quarantined since 2005 and depopulated in 2017, no goats have tested positive for scrapie
