In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease. The disease in cattle is called Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy because this form of the disease occurs in cows (therefore, the term bovine), it causes a sponge-like destruction of the brain (therefore, the term spongiform encepholopathy - enceph means brain and pathy means pathology - meaning an abnormality). What are the symptoms of Mad Cow Disease? Symptoms include an excitable or nervous temperament to external stimuli such as touch to the skin, a progressive unsteadiness of gait resulting eventually in the inability to stand up. The disease is virtually 100% fatal.

USDA intends to test more than 250,000 cattle under the new program, which will begin in June 2004.

Last week, in order to prevent the disease from contaminating the blood supply, the American Red Cross, in accepting the view that infectious beef is to blame, barred donations from anyone who consecutively spent three months in Britain and six months in Europe since 1980.

What the Heck is "Mad Cow" Disease? First Great Britain, then regions of Europe, then Canada and now, the United States. In December, 2003, the first case of bovine spongioform encephalopathy (BSE) was diagnosed in a dairy cow in Washington state. The disease is thought to be transmitted to cattle through the feeding of cattle with parts of other animals. The feeding of cattle with rendered meat and bone from other animals has been banned in the United States since 1997. There is a reported 99 percent compliance with this ban; however, it is now clear that 99 percent is not 100 percent - someone didn't get the message. As of 2003, the spread of mad cow disease in Europe - including, Great Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and Portugal and the appearance of the variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in humans in many of these nations, is continuing to cause great concern among officials in Europe, Canada and the United States. A few years ago the United States, in order to protect the nation's blood supply, banned blood obtained from any donor who lived in Great Britain or Ireland for six months between 1980 and 1996. These individuals are not allowed to be blood donors to the United States blood supply, for life. The issue has become even more of a concern as the spread of this disease occurs in Europe. As a consequence, the United States is considering extending the ban of donation of blood from individals who may have lived for a time in other European countries.

But in May 2003, veterinary officials in Alberta confirmed that a sick cow sent to a slaughterhouse in January of that year had been inspected, found to be substandard, and removed so that it would not end up as food for humans or other animals. The carcass was, however, sent to a processing plant for rendering into oils. Its head was kept for testing. Samples were sent to the world testing laboratories in the U.K., which confirmed the case of mad cow. "What is important is that the system worked," said Alberta's agriculture minister, Shirley McClellan. "We have a very thorough and respected inspection system." She was insistent to remind the public that the disease is not contagious within a herd. But McClellan's assurances didn't stop the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Australia and other countries from imposing temporary import bans of Canadian beef.
