Le Laboratoire communautaire de référence a été saisi pour analyser des prélèvements obtenus sur deux ovins atteints d'une encéphalopathie spongiforme transmissible
Paris, le 26.02.2006
Le Laboratoire national de référence pour les encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles (EST) de l'Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments a isolé sur les cerveaux de deux moutons une souche présentant un profil différent de celui communément observé en cas de tremblante. Ces tests préliminaires ne permettent pas de tirer de conclusions à ce jour, et des analyses complémentaires doivent être conduites. Le prélèvement et les données ont été communiqués, comme le prévoit la réglementation communautaire, au laboratoire communautaire de référence de Weybridge au Royaume Uni, et la Commission européenne en a été informée. Les premières analyses complémentaires nécessiteront un délai de plusieurs jours et des résultats définitifs pourront être obtenus au bout d'une année de tests biologiques.
Les deux moutons ayant fait l'objet des analyses sont nés en 2000 et en 2002. Ils ont été testés à l'équarrissage dans le cadre du programme de surveillance des encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles chez les petits ruminants, qui a permis de tester plus de 400 000 ovins et caprins depuis avril 2002.
Ces animaux, contrôlés à l'équarrissage, n'ont donc pas été mis à la consommation. Les mesures de précaution réglementaires ont été prises : l'ensemble du cheptel dont ils provenaient a été placé sous surveillance et isolé.
Compte tenu de cette situation, les Ministres chargés de la santé, de l'agriculture et de la consommation ont demandé à l'AFSSA, une évaluation du dispositif actuel de gestion des risques liés aux encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles chez les ovins.

PARIS, Feb. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- French Agriculture Ministry announced in a statement on Sunday that two suspected cases of a rare strain of "mad sheep" disease have been identified in central France.
Two suspected cases of a rare strain of the brain-wasting disease, which is also called Scrapie and ovine spongiform encephalopathy, have been identified on two different farms in central France, the ministry said.
The ministry's statement said that one year of tests would be needed to have a final assessment of the disease.
Scrapie was common in France in the 19th century, but only one case of the rare strain was publicly announced in a goat in 2004, an official for the French meat information Centre said.
It is still unknown what the consequences are and in what conditions it is transmissible. Enditem

Holy Cow! Rare "Mad Sheep" Strain Suspected in France
The bird-flu's entry into France seems to be followed by another variety of animal disease that is vying for news space. The French Agriculture Ministry has announced its suspicion on two cases of an extremely rare strain of "Mad Sheep" disease in Central France.
The "Mad Sheep" disease also called, Scrapie and ovine spongiform encephalopathy, has been noticed on two farms in central France.
It is premature to make any conclusive assessment of the disease until threadbare tests are conducted, which will take a timeframe of one year, according to the Ministry's statement. The conditions of transmission of the disease as well as its implications on health remain unknown.
