Scrapie is a degenerative and eventually fatal disease affecting the central nervous systems of sheep and goats. This disease is a member of a class of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE's). The control of this disease is complicated because the disease has an extremely long incubation period without clinical signs. To control the spread of Scrapie within the United States, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), administers regulations at 9 CFR part 79, which restrict the interstate movement of certain sheep and goats.
