bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and variant CreutzfeldtJakob disease
http://www.eufic.org/gb/safe/safe05.htm

Extractions: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease", is a fatal brain disease that affects cattle. The disease is named after the characteristic sponge-like changes to the brain that it causes. BSE usually has an incubation period of 4-5 years from the time that the animal is exposed. The condition is fatal within weeks or months of its onset. The first signs are weight loss and nervousness. BSE is one type of a group of prion diseases referred to as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). TSEs are fatal diseases that cause spongy degeneration of the brain and severe neurological symptoms. Another example of a TSE is scrapie, a disease found in sheep and goats. TSEs have also been found in other animals including mink, North American mule deer, elk and cats. TSE's found in humans include Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) and variant-Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (vCJD). What causes BSE?

Extractions: Suggested Resources for Further Information Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a disease condition in cattle which is thought to have originated in Great Britain. It occurs in cattle between two and eight years old and is always fatal. The most plausible cause of the disease is a prion, a "self-replicating" protein, rather than a bacterium or virus. BSE causes a portion of the brain to become sponge-like. Brain, central nervous system tissue, and the distal ileum (portion of the small intestine) can carry the infective agent, and measures have been taken to exclude those parts known to carry the infective agent (primarily brain and central nervous system tissue) from the food and feed supply. 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.

bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) (Mad Cow Disease). Bovine SpongiformEncephalopathy (BSE) was first diagnosed in Great Britain in 1986.
http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil/madcowdisease/

Extractions: On 23 December 2003, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported the first suspected case of BSE within the United States in Washington State. This case was from a downer Holstein cow (unable to rise and walk on its own), and samples were collected at slaughter on 9 December 2003 as part of the USDAs routine surveillance program for BSE. Final confirmation is being determined in the United Kingdom and results will be released within 3-5 days. USDA officials are investigating the origin of the animal and how its remains were processed. The farm where the cow first showed clinical signs was identified and has been quarantined.

http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/pubs/bsebib.htm

Extractions: There are also human conditions that are similar to the animal diseases. In most cases the human diseases are not due to transmissible agents. They can be genetic diseases that run in families, a mutation that happens sporadically in individuals and probably animals as well, or they may be transmitted by ingestion of the infectious agent (e.g. kuru of the Fore people was caused by ritualized cannibalism). There is still some controversy regarding the nature of the transmissible agent that causes these fatal conditions, but the most accepted theory is that the agent is a modified form of a normal cell surface component known as a prion (proteinaceous infectious articles and (pronounced preeon) protein) (PrP). This modified version of PrP is disease causing, and is both less soluble and more resistant to enzyme degradation then the normal protein. "Currently there is no known treatment for prion diseases, and the fear that prions passed from cattle to humans may be justified."

Extractions: Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow disease") Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a degenerative neurologic disease acquired by eating beef from cows with a related illness known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) ("mad cow disease"). The disorder was initially described in the United Kingdom. As of February 2003, there were 129 definite or probable cases of variant CJD reported from the United Kingdom, six from France, and two from the Republic of Ireland. "Mad cow disease" has also been identified in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, and Japan, but human cases have not been reported from these countries to date. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy appears to be caused by abnormal proteins called prions, which do not resemble bacteria, viruses, or other conventional causes of human and animal disease. The agent that causes BSE is transmitted when meat and bone meal feed prepared from the carcasses of infected animals is fed back to other cattle. (This practice has been banned within the European Union and many other countries). The infection is not transmitted directly from animal to animal within herds. A new case of BSE arising within a country is therefore much more significant than an imported case, because it implies that recycled ruminant protein is still being used within that country as animal feed, against all current recommendations.

Extractions: Biosecurity Home Imports Exports Border Animals Forest Products Plants SPS Animal Welfare About MAF Biosecurity Publications Legislation Information about viewing PDF files New Zealand is free from both BSE and scrapie. MAF risk assessments, reviewed and endorsed by the government's independent BSE Expert Science Panel, concluded that the Scrapie Freedom Assurance Programmes (SFAPs), under which sheep have been imported to New Zealand since the mid-1980s, provide firm guarantees against the introduction of either of the TSEs. The SFAPs involve testing for infection by biosassay, embryos transfers, and prolonged quarantine. The spectre of BSE in sheep is worrying. European sheep were probably exposed to rations containing meat and bone meal(MBM) several years ago. Experimentally it has been shown that sheep can be infected by mouth with BSE. There is no immediately obvious measure that could be taken, such as removal Specified Risk Materials (SRMs), to adequately protect public health should BSE be found to be in the European sheep population. The clinical signs of BSE in the sheep are indistinguishable from those of scrapie. The two diseases can only be distinguished on the basis of bioassay in mice and lesion profiling. The British have been looking for it by taking brains from scrapie cases, inoculating them into mice and then looking for the incubation period and so-called "lesion profile" indicative of BSE. There are, however, two problems with this approach. The first is cost. To profile a single isolate in mice costs around £20,000. They have about 200 isolates underway at present. The second difficulty is time; it takes up to two years to run a single lesion profile study.

Injections of ground-up brain tissue from an animal or human patient with a prion disease into another animal (of the appropriate species) transmits the disease. This suggests that the disease is caused by an infectious agent such as a virus. But viruses have a genome and - despite intense efforts - no evidence of a virus has ever been found in these brain extracts. In fact, treating the extracts with agents (e.g., ultraviolet light ) that destroy DNA does not reduce their infectiousness.

Extractions: (Mad Cow Disease) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Travel Advisory on BSE . In the advisory the CDC notes that the relative risk of becoming infected with vCJD is very small. They estimate that the chances of contracting vCJD is less than one in 10 billion servings, if at all. Additionally, there is a recently announced ban on blood donations from all persons who have lived for six months or longer in the United Kingdom between 1980 and 1996. Some service members and their families may be affected by this ban. This deferral was originally implemented as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the blood supply against the risk of contamination by BSE, because there is no known blood-screening test. Even though there is no evidence that vCJD or BSE can be transmitted through blood products, deferral will be continued as a precautionary preventive step.
