And, and s- scrapey is, um, is preventable through a, um, a vaccine, right?

Not a vaccine, it's, it's really, um, through ...

So, so one thing, uh, scrapey and, scrapey and CWD share some similarities, um, relative to, you know, like I just said, that the prions actually leave the animal's body and can transmit to one another.

There's an environmental components so animals can get infected from the environment, or they can get infected from their buddies.

But, um, one thing that, that scrapey, um, had sort of that, that led to some effective management for, uh, the domestic livestock industry is that genetically, there are some, some different genotypes of sheep related to that, the, you know, the prion protein that I mentioned.

Well, that prion protein is encoded by a gene, and so there's a, there's a particular genotype in, in domestic sheep that they're, they're pretty resistant, very resistant to CW ... or to, to scrapey.

And so through intensive, um, you know, breeding management in domestic sheep, and then culling of everybody else-

... as well, right?
