The six-year-old animal had been suffering serious problems with its nervous system and was put down, and was later diagnosed with feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), the cat-borne variety of mad cow disease. The pet was thought to have been infected by cat food containing either brain or spinal column from cattle contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), better known as mad cow disease. The feline form of the disease is closely linked with the cattle-borne variety and was first reported in 1990 in Britain, whose meat and livestock industry is still reeling from a BSE epidemic which swept through the country's herds. Britain has reported around 90 cases of the feline disease among the nation's pets, while Norway has also witnessed a case, despite being clear of the bovine brain-wasting disease.

Extractions: The announcement by British health authorities that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, pictured in medulla of cow, left), also known as mad cow disease, may have been transmitted to humans has led to a chaotic situation in the UK with ripple effects occurring throughout Europe and the rest of the world. What is BSE and what is its relation to scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans? How did the current epidemic begin? I asked Frederick A. Murphy, DVM, PhD, Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis these and other questions in an attempt to sort out the science from the media hysteria surrounding the announcement from the UK on March 21, 1996 that 10 people may have become infected with the BSE agent through exposure to beef.

Mark Purdey's theory of mad cow disease.
http://madcow.pamrotella.com/

Extractions: Note: Since the first admitted cases of Mad Cow Disease were announced in the U.S., this page has become very popular. Although written just after the CWD outbreak in Wisconsin and focusing largely on CWD, Mad Cow (BSE) and CWD are the same disease in different species. Mark Purdey's work was originally based on cows in Great Britain during the Mad Cow outbreak there. Last year, CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) was a hot news topic. Deer and elk in the area of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, were eradicated in a brutal and controversial government-sponsored shooting spree. The mass kill-off was allegedly designed to stop the spread of CWD to other herds, but in actuality was nothing more than a public relations ploy. Today's most credible independent research has shown that CWD, and all related prion diseases, are most often caused by organophosphate pesticides and herbicides. Prion disease transfer via animal-to-animal is much less common than direct organophosphate exposure. This puts vegetarians at risk for contracting a prion disease from foods treated with organophosphate pesticides and/or herbicides. Of particular interest are soy products, specifically Roundup-Ready soybeans.

BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy or mad cow disease) is a fatal disease affecting cattle and has been transmitted to humans as vCJD (nvCJD).

Extractions: The first case of BSE was reported in the United States in December 2003 CJD: human TSE BSE was first observed in Great Britain in April, 1984, and was specifically diagnosed in 1986. Since 1986, nearly cases of BSE in cattle have been identified in the United Kingdom. The epidemic peaked in 1992-93 at almost 1,000 cases per week. Control measures have reduced incidence and currently, less than 100 cases are being reported per week. Introduction: Description of spongiform encephalopathies, timeline and definition of terms

Extractions: BSE or Mad Cow Disease had never been diagnosed in the United States before a single infected cow in Washington State was diagnosed after slaughter in December 2004. Potential impacts on the US agricultural economy are tremendous, cutting exports and costing thousands of jobs in the food processing, transportation, retail, and restaurant industries. Fact: There are different scientific hypotheses concerning the origins of BSE. BSE in Great Britain may have been caused by feeding cattle rendered protein produced from the carcasses of scrapie-infected sheep or cattle with a previously unidentified transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). The practice of using products such as meat-and-bone meal as a source of protein in cattle rations has been common for several decades. Changes in rendering operations in the late 1970's and early 1980's may have played a part in the appearance of the disease.

Extractions: Table of Contents Note: On Dec. 23, 2003, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that a cow in Washington state had tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or mad cow disease). As a result, information on this Web page stating that no BSE cases had been found in the United States is now incorrect. However, because other information on this page continues to have value, the page will remain available for viewing. Trying to Keep "Mad Cow Disease" Out of U.S. Herds By Linda Bren Millions of British television viewers watched the harrowing final days of 14-year-old Zoe Jeffries in October 2000. The ordeal of the young girl from Manchester, England, began more than two years earlier. First she cried for two weeks, then came the hallucinations and continuous screaming. As the disease progressed, the pain in her legs worsened until she couldn't walk. Bedridden, her brain wasting away, she was reduced to communicating through moans and grunts. Zoe's mother, Helen Jeffries, let the television cameras into her home to demonstrate the plight of people like her daughtervictims of new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or nvCJD. The neurological illness is thought to be the human form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE-commonly called "Mad Cow Disease." The disease is thus far untreatable, incurable, and ultimately fatal.

http://whyfiles.news.wisc.edu/012mad_cow

Extractions: Courtesy Agricultural Research Service , USDA POSTED 8 FEB 2001 Years after it was supposedly vanquished, mad cow disease, the brain infection that kills cows and some people who eat them, is on a comeback. The disease has spread widely in Europe, and there are danger signs in the United States, where it's never appeared. Mad cow disease is one of several fatal brain diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or TSEs. (Want The Why Files guide to mad cow lingo?) The jargon says it all: These infectious diseases shoot the brain full of holes, making it look like a sponge. The TSEs were once considered unlikely to infect other species, but some seem to move rather easily among animals. Most glaringly, many scientists believe people can get vCJD (variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) from eating mad cows. The awkward name reflects the similarity to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a deadly brain illness that strikes about one person per million per year, due to genetic or unknown causes. While CJD mainly afflicts the elderly, vCJD appears among younger people, almost certainly from eating mad cow meat. The gruesome death starts with mood swings, numbness and uncontrolled body movements. Eventually the mind is destroyed, somewhat like Alzheimer's, another brain-wrecking disease.

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (AP) The mad cow crisis gripping Europe has so far spared the United States, and experts say there is no reason for Americans to worry about their meat. The risk of mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, in the United States is "extremely low" because of bans on imported cattle and a restriction on cattle feed, according to a recent report by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, a nonprofit organization of scientific societies.
