		BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle that results from infection by an unusual transmissible agent called a prion.
		On March 13, 2006, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the confirmation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a cow in Alabama.
		Both of the U.S.-born BSE cases and two of the twelve Canadian-born BSE cases were 10 years of age or older and all three of these older North American cases for whom the BSE strain is presently known were linked to an atypical BSE strain known as the H-strain.

		BSE is an afebrile neurological disease that primarily affects mature cattle.
		BSE is considered a "common source" epidemic, meaning that animals contract the disease from a common element in their environment.

	BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy belongs to the family of diseases known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE's).
		This BSE strain is different from historical or contemporary isolates from sheep or goats with natural scrapie, as determined by study of incubation periods and brain "lesion profiles" in mice.
		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy from foreign sources may be prevented by the implementation of import regulations prohibiting live ruminants and ruminant products (especially meat, bone meal, and offal) from countries where BSE may exist.

	Bovine spongiform encephalopathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) commonly known as mad cow disease, is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease of cattle, which infects by a mechanism that surprised biologists on its discovery in the late 20th century.
		The British BSE epizootic in cattle was recognized in 1986.
		Prior to the BSE epizootic, cattle were fed with meat and bone meal, a high-protein substance obtained from the remnants of butchered animals, including cows and sheep.

		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), widely known as "mad cow disease," is a chronic, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle.
		BSE belongs to the family of diseases known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE's).
		The BSE agent (1) is smaller than most viral particles and is highly resistant to heat, ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation, and common disinfectants that normally inactivate viruses or bacteria; (2) causes no detectable immune or inflammatory response in the host; and (3) has not been observed microscopically.

		BSE is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle which results from infection by an unconventional transmissible agent.
		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a chronic degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle.
		BSE is so named because of the spongy appearance of the brain tissue of infected cattle when sections are examined under a microscope.

	Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
		Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (B SE) is associated with a transmissible agent (the prion), the nature of which is not yet fully understood.
		In 10 years of monitoring for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, the USDA has never identified a single case in the United States except the one the was assumed from a cow that was fed to a farm full of mink and seemed to cause an outbreak of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (the Stetsonville outbreak).
		As BSE is not known to exist in the United States, the measures taken have been in surveillance, prevention and education.

	Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Information on Healthline
		BSE appeared as a completely novel disease of cattle in the United Kingdom (UK), the first known case being diagnosed retrospectively in 1985.
		By 1986, BSE was recognized as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of cattle and considered to be analogous to scrapie, a disease of sheep that is not known to cause human disease.
		removal of animals known to have BSE from the human food chain and the removal during slaughter of known high-risk tissues from animal carcasses regardless of their BSE status (certain tissues of sheep and goats are also removed because of fears raised that sheep and goats may be harboring BSE without developing disease).

		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a progressive and fatal disease of adult cattle characterized by degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS).
		BSE was first diagnosed in cattle in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1986.
		The transmission of the epidemic of BSE is thought to be the oral ingestion of animal feed containing BSE-infected meat and bone meal (MBM) by cattle.

	Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE; Mad Cow Disease)
		Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a disease condition in cattle which is thought to have originated in Great Britain.
		BSE is often referred to as "mad cow" disease, because animals infected with the disease are often irritable and can react in a somewhat violent or threatening fashion when approached by humans.
		BSE is similar to other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) present in man and animals.

		BSE is not contagious, therefore laboratory handling aims primarily to avoid accidental iatrogenic, ocular or oronasal exposures.

		TSE's include scrapie (which affects sheep and goats), transmissible mink encephalopathy, feline spongiform encephalopathy, chronic wasting disease of deer and elk, and in humans, kuru, CJD, Gerstmann- Straussler syndrome, fatal familial insomnia, and nvCJD.
		The one case of BSE in a single cow in Canada imported from Great Britain has been dealt with by destroying the affected cow and all its herdmates, as well as other cattle determined to be a risk by animal health officials in Canada.
		These results show that there is approximately a 9-percent increase in the occurrence of BSE in offspring of BSE-affected dams as compared to calves born to dams where BSE was not detected.

		Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known as "Mad Cow disease," has emerged as one of the most serious health concerns of the 21st century.
		However, a majority of scientists suspect the culprit may be an aberrant protein known as a prion found in the brains and spinal tissue of infected animals.
		Alan Ebringer, an expert in auto-immune diseases at King’s College, London, challenges the current scientific orthodoxy that BSE and CJD are caused by rogue prion proteins.
