Iceland: Scrapie Identified in Sheep in Iceland

Scrapie (a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats) was confirmed in a sheep on the Stóru-Akrar farm (home to 800 sheep) in Skagafjörður, Iceland. Subsequently, the disease was identified on three additional farms: Syðri-Hofdalir and Grænamýri in Blönduhlíð and Hof in Hjaltadal. The government is currently assessing the disease’s prevalence but anticipates a significant number of animals will need to be culled.
