This was published in October, but I missed it until it was referenced in a newer article. Discusses development in progress of an oral vaccine for cattle against bovine spongiform encephalitis ("mad cow disease").
Presumably, if they can get this to work, similar vaccines for prion diseases in sheep ("scrapie") and humans (Crutzfeld-Jacobs disease) would also be developed.
