I'm posting this for someone else:

Does anyone have any current information on the status of hypotheses about the nature of the agent causing scrapie (a disease of sheep and goats) or related diseases (Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease, kuru, mink encephalopathy)?

I'm writing a research paper on the topic, but unfortunately our library has sent its most recent journal articles to be hardbound.

I appreciate any information you could give me.

Thanks,  Jennifer Squires c/o ferguson@wmu-cs.wmich.edu
