All sectors that completed the 2020 ARS Animal Health Stakeholder Survey (government, academia, industry, and livestock and poultry producers) identified research on TSEs a national priority. Importantly, stakeholders identified the following TSEs as one of the 10 most important diseases that have the potential of significantly affecting animal agriculture in the United States: Chronic Wasting Disease (29%), Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (18%), and Scrapie (11%).

Producers that completed the 2020 ARS Animal Health Stakeholder Survey (beef, sheep, goats, and wildlife) also identified TSEs as one of the top five diseases currently affecting their commodity. The following TSEs were ranked by producers as one of the top five diseases, as follows:

Chronic Wasting Disease: Wildlife, including captive cervids (80%), sheep (15%), and beef (4.3%).

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy: Beef (8.7%).

39

Scrapie: Sheep (56%), goats (17%), beef (4.3%).

Although recognized as important, ARS does not currently have resources to implement research for the following priority:

• Identification of the nature and origin of prion agents.

Problem Statement 6A: Determine pathobiology of prion strains
