The Veterinary Record, 1993•europepmc.orgA small herd of greater kudu, derived from three individuals, has been maintained at the
Zoological Society of London since 1970. Spongiform encephalopathy has been diagnosed
in five out of eight of the animals born in this herd since 1987. With the possible exception of
the first confirmed case, none of these is thought to have been exposed to feeds containing
ruminant-derived protein. The pattern of incidence suggests that greater kudu are very
susceptible to the disease and that natural lateral transmission may have occurred among …
