STEPHEN MOORE: <\/b><em>In the future we may be able to breed animals that are less susceptible.  Whether or not they\u2019ll be completely resistant to disease we don\u2019t know.    But really what happened in the UK was in many ways for the research of prion disease, an opportunity.  Of course, we will never have that level of infection again in a prion disease, apart from in the wild population of animals in North America.    And the wild populations in North America are very difficult to use as a controlled study because you don\u2019t know much about any particular animal when it does come down.    So we\u2019ll be looking at refining our results in order to get a better handle on what\u2019s actually happening in the progression of that disease.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith a test on live animals for prion disease  still a long ways off,  Dr. Moore believes controlling the spread of disease is a more immediate concern.\n<\/p>\n<p> <b><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca\">Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/cihr.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-04-01<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concentrated effort on <b>prion diseases<\/b> over the last five years has led to some significant discoveries, although there is still much work to be done.<br \/>\n<b>Dr. Stephen Moore<\/b> is an expert in bovine genomics at the University of Alberta .
