Time to clinical onset, duration and survival time in atypical BSE brain donors and recipients. Comparison of clinical onset, duration and survival times between H- and L-type BSE brain recipients L5, L6, H5 and H6 and the respective H- and L-type BSE donors L1, L4, H1 and H4, which were intracerebrally inoculated with atypical BSE brain from naturally occurring cases. The survival times of both H-type recipients H5 and H6 and L type recipient L5 were similar, with only 20 days between the first (H5) and the last (L5 and H6) culled animals, whereas animal L6 was culled two months after animals L5 and H6. Clinical duration and survival times were longer in the atypical BSE brain donors, whereas clinical onset was earlier in two of the atypical BSE donors, L1 and H1, compared to the recipients L5 and H5 respectively.
