Abstract
Rodents infected with some strains of scrapie develop a severe retinopathy in which the photoreceptor cells are destroyed. The possibility that this results from light-induced damage as a secondary consequence of the disease was tested by maintaining scrapie-infected albino mice in total darkness. Photoreceptor loss occurred in terminal scrapie-infected mice maintained in both total darkness and in normal lighting conditions establishing that the retinopathy is a primary lesion with this strain of scrapie agent.
