- Nóta It causes similar clinical signs to classical scrapie and is also a notifiable disease. Genetic susceptibility differs from that in classical scrapie cases. There is no scheme currently for breeding resistance to atypical scrapie. There is limited information on how the disease is spread, but good biosecurity measures may help reduce the risk.
