    Extractions: [ Home ] Resources Evaluation Conclusion Teacher Resources INTRODUCTION This quest challenges you to investigate a greatly debated global issue, Mad Cow disease, also known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. In the past several years, much of the attention has focused on the economic, environmental, social, and cultural impact this disease and its associated health concerns has had on Great Britain and other European Countries. Beyond the range...what will the impact of Mad Cow Disease, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) have on America? THE PROCESS The class will be divided into five teams with four members in each team. Each team will assume one of the following roles in an effort to research and obtain information, formulate opinions, and draw conclusions concerning "Mad Cow." After reviewing your roles, discuss how you want to share responsibilities for completing your team tasks. Begin the research process by reading the following news articles: Cowley, Geoffrey.

    Extractions: CNN Medical Unit WASHINGTON (CNN) The United States has not seen one case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), better known as mad cow disease. But is the government doing enough to keep it that way? That is a question senators will be posing at a hearing Wednesday on mad cow disease and meat safety. Representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the beef industry and consumer advocates are expected to testify before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs, Foreign Commerce and Tourism. MESSAGE BOARD How concerned should the U.S. be about mad cow disease?

63. Testing For Mad Cow Disease To Expand (washingtonpost.com)
    Testing for mad cow disease To Expand USDA s Handling of Issue Being Challenged By Marc Kaufman Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 16, 2004; Page A01.  
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61585-2004Mar15.html
    
    Extractions: Tuesday, March 16, 2004; Page A01 The Agriculture Department, under fire for the way it has handled the discovery of mad cow disease in a Washington state cow, said yesterday that it will greatly expand the number of cattle it will test for the deadly infection. Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman said the agency will spend an additional $70 million to test as many as 268,000 animals a year, up from the current goal of 40,000, to determine how much mad cow disease is in the American herd. The expanded program is expected to begin in June and will last 12 to 18 months. The added surveillance, which was strongly recommended by a group of international experts consulted by the USDA, will take a far more detailed snapshot of the cattle herd. Because it is concentrating on the cows most likely to be sick, the new testing has the statistical capacity to find an infected cow even if the incidence is as low as 1 in 10 million, USDA officials said. "We've worked hard to develop a system that will allow us to test at a higher level to determine more definitively what level of [mad cow disease] is present in our system," Veneman said in a teleconference.

    Extractions: Friday, April 16, 2004; Page A01 ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. To Creekstone Farms manager Bill Fielding, his company's idea does not seem unreasonable. In order to satisfy its very important customers in Japan customers the company needs to survive Creekstone wants to test for mad cow disease every one of the cattle it slaughters. To do that, Creekstone has spent more than $500,000 to build the first mad cow testing lab in an American slaughterhouse, and it has hired seven chemists and biologists to operate it. The company made the investment after Fielding returned from a trip to Japan convinced that officials there would lift their ban on American beef imposed after an infected cow was found in Washington state last December only if American companies adopt the Japanese practice of testing every animal. But there is a big obstacle in the way of Creekstone's mad cow initiative: The U.S. Department of Agriculture will not allow it.

Eventually 3.7 million cattle were destroyed. Britain bans human consumption of certain offal, including brain, spinal cord, thymus, spleen and tonsils. The United States prohibits the import of live ruminants, including cattle, sheep, bison and goats, from countries where BSE is known to exist in native cattle.

    Extractions: BSE is a disease that affects cattle. However, there is a disease similar to BSE called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), or vCJD, which is found in humans. There have been a small number of cases of vCJD reported, primarily in the United Kingdom, occurring in people who consumed beef that may have been contaminated. (As of May 2003, there have been a total of approximately 139 cases of vCJD worldwide.) There is strong scientific evidence (epidemiological and laboratory) that the agent that causes BSE in cattle is the agent that causes vCJD in people. The one reported case of vCJD in the United States was from a young women that contracted the disease while residing in the UK. The symptoms appeared years later after the young woman moved to the US. (For the latest on the US BSE case, visit www.usda.gov

Click here to read about mad cow disease in the United States. Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease used to take decades to kill. Sufferers tended to be over 55. But CJD is changing. Now it kills the young. Can it be a coincidence that, in the last 10 years, we've eaten 1.5 million BSE-infected animals? On Friday morning at 11 o'clock, 20-year-old Peter Hall was buried at Chester-le-Street Parish Church cemetery, near Sunderland, Co Durham. He was killed by Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD), the human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease (BSE). First striking him at 19, just 13 months ago, it made Peter Hall the fourth British teenager to succumb to the disease to date. Two others died last year-Stephen Churchill, at 19, and an un-named 17-year-old girl. The very first teenage CJD victim, Victoria Rimmer, 16 when she was diagnosed by live biopsy late in 1994, is still in a coma.

    Extractions: Animal Health Updated 3/16/04 USDA Announces New BSE Surveillance Program The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a new, intensive, national surveillance program to determine whether BSE is actually present in the cattle population and, if so, at what level. The plan is to test as many “high-risk” cattle as possible as well as a random sampling of normal, older cattle during the next 12-18 months. “High-risk” cattle are more than 30 months of age, are non-ambulatory or severely weakened, show signs of central nervous system disorder, or died on the farm. Normal, older cattle will be tested at the 40 slaughter plants across the country that handle 86 percent of the older cattle processed for human consumption. USDA officially closed its investigation into the BSE incident in Washington state on Feb. 9, 2004 . A total of 255 animals that were – or could have been – from the source herd in Alberta, Canada were identified on 10 premises in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. All 255 animals tested negative for BSE. Information and Resources BSE and actions to prevent its spread
