Scrapie infectivity and degenerative vacuolation was initially localized within the contralateral superior colliculus following intraocular injection. The time course of these events was prolonged. With the ME7 strain of scrapie in Sincs7 genotype mice, infectivity began to rise in the superior colliculus from about 70 days, followed by the earliest asymmetrical lesions there from 120 days, with death occurring at about 250 days, at which time vacuolar degeneration was widespread in the brain. With other mouse Sinc genotype mouse/agent strain combinations the process was even further prolonged. With 87V scrapie strain in Sincp7 genotype mice the first lesions to appear were in the contralateral tectum at 300 days. It is concluded that scrapie agent can spread within ganglion cell axons.
