     Extractions: of Science Sponsored by The possibility that a form of mad cow disease can be transmitted to humans has sparked a worldwide scare about eating beef. You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of DNA and genes Printer-friendly version of complete topic BSE was first diagnosed in Britain in 1986. It is very similar to scrapie, a well-known disease in sheep that has been recorded for more than 100 years. Scrapie is also a spongiform encephalopathy and is nearly always fatal. Mad cow disease started in Britain after cattle were fed a protein In 1957, D. Carleton Gajdusek (United States National Institutes of Health) and Vincent Zigas (Australian Public Health Service) described a strange disease among the Fore highlanders of Papua New Guinea. Victims of the condition showed a gradual loss of coordination, and then a sort of premature dementia and an early death. Smart scientific detective work showed that the disease, called kuru, was caused by something that was passed on during ritual cannibalism, when the brains of recently deceased people were eaten. This work involved inoculating chimpanzees with material from the brains of people who had died of kuru. (In 1976, Dr Gajdusek and Dr Baruch Blumberg shared the Nobel prize. Gajdusek for his work on kuru, Blumberg for his work on the hepatitis B virus.)

     Forget farm feed made from animal remains, Dr. Paul Kail explores the possible link between pesticides and mad cow disease.  
     http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/2001/01/bse/
     
     Extractions: BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy), or Mad Cow Disease, and its human form, nvCJD (New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease), are incurable brain disorders. Holes appear in victims' brains, then they become demented and die. The diseases are not caused by a virus or a bacterium, but by a mysterious type of twisted protein, known as a "prion". The prion can propagate itself by causing other proteins to twist into the same shape. Prions can be passed on by eating the flesh of another animal, and are resistant to cooking and digestion. A theory about how prions are formed suggests that organophosphate pesticides could be partly to blame. Two people have already died defending this theory, apparently at the hands of professional assassins working either for the British government or the chemical industry. So the theory needs to be taken seriously. BSE first appeared in the UK in 1985. Since then, the disease has affected half of the cow herds in the country. New Variant CJD also first appeared in the UK, ten years later: to date, around 90 people have died from it. Both BSE and CDJ are beginning to spread throughout the rest of Europe; today, 30 European countries have had exports of their cattle banned. The diseases have the potential to destroy the entire European cattle industry, and kill thousands of people. The death toll from nvCJD is increasing by 35% per year, and the disease has a gestation period of twenty years. Some projections suggest that hundreds of thousands of people could eventually die from it.

     Extractions: WASHINGTON (CNN) The federal government is not doing enough to ensure that mad cow disease is kept out of the United States, a report from the General Accounting Office said Tuesday. The Department of Agriculture called the report flawed. If infected animals and products did enter the country, the report said, steps now being taken by the federal government might not detect it or keep it from spreading. It took the Agriculture Department to task for failing to test many high-risk animals that die on farms, and cited weaknesses in USDA and Food and Drug Administration import controls. According to the report, FDA record-keeping is so flawed that the agency does not know to what extent industry is complying with the ban on using prohibited proteins in feed and has yet to identify and inspect all firms subject to the ban. Some non-compliant firms have not been re-inspected for two or more years, and in some instances no enforcement action was taken even though the firms had failed multiple inspections, the report said.

     Extractions: Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Three days before Christmas 2003, tests revealed that an American cow, slaughtered in Washington State two weeks earlier, was infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), more popularly known as mad cow disease. For the U.S. cattle industry, this was bad news. The 1986 discovery of BSE in the U.K. cattle herd led countries around the world to ban imports of British beef, which had serious economic consequences for the British beef industry. As U.S. farmers braced for a similar blow, several countries announced bans on American beef. BSE is a brain disease in cows that was first recognized in Great Britain in 1986. BSE is one of several transmissible spongiform encepholopathies (TSE) . TSE diseases leave the brains they infect riddled with holes, creating a sponge-like texture (hence the term "Spongiform"). Among other animal TSEs, the one most familiar to farmers is scrapie , which has long been known to infect sheep (it was called "scrapie" because infected sheep would scrape themselves against trees and other objects, to relieve the itching sensation caused by the disease). Scientists believe that transmission of BSE to humans has resulted in approximately 145 deaths in Great Britain since the beginning of the mad cow outbreak. It appears that brain infections similar to BSE and scrapie occur in many different species of animals, from humans to minks. Among human TSE diseases, the first recognized was

WASHINGTON (CNN) The first apparent case of mad cow disease in the United States has been discovered, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday. Two tests have been carried out on meat from the cow, enabling Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman to call the case a "presumptive positive." A sample is being flown to England for a third test to confirm the case. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, is linked to a similar form of the incurable and fatal brain-wasting disease in humans, called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD. There have been a small number of cases of vCJD reported worldwide, primarily in the United Kingdom, in people who ate BSE-contaminated meat.

     Extractions: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as mad cow disease) has surfaced in Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Canada, and other countries. Health authorities consider it to be the most likely cause of a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a fatal brain disease that recently killed several young people in Britain. Americans are concerned as to whether BSE may present a health threat in the U.S. Today, we present a review of scientific evidence that supports three conclusions, showing that, indeed, that concern is wholly justified: The conditions that led to the emergence of BSE in Britain are present in the U.S. Current U.S. livestock rendering and feeding practices are similar to those present in Britain at the onset of the BSE epidemic. Evidence suggests that the agent that causes BSE has already spread to at least some animals in the U.S. Between 1979 and 1990, 2,614 Americans died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and the possibility that BSE played a role in some of those deaths cannot be ruled out. Brain Disease in Cows Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is a fatal central nervous system disease first identified in the U.K. in 1986. Affected cows show increased apprehension, poor coordination, difficulties in walking, and weight loss. The infections that cause BSE apparently existed for several years before the disease was recognized.

Mad cow disease is now indigenous to North America, according to a new report issued by an international panel of experts appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman. The panel, which delivered its report on February 4, also called for a large increase in testing for mad cow and said blanket assurances that “beef is safe” could undermine regulatory efforts. Such assurances have been routinely offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture since mad cow disease was discovered in a Washington state Holstein on December 22. In other news, federal officials ended their investigation into the country's first case of mad cow disease on February 9. This move comes despite the failure to locate almost two-thirds of the 80 cattle that had entered the United States with the infected Holstein, as the

Fax Search the DPH Website Frequently Asked Questions About “Mad Cow Disease” and Human Health Mad Cow Disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a brain disease of cattle first identified in the United Kingdom (UK) in the mid 1980s. BSE is part of a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). All of these diseases are characterized by distinctive changes in the brain, abnormal behavior and death. What causes Mad Cow Disease (BSE)? It is thought that this disease is caused and spread by an abnormal form of a protein called a "prion". The abnormal protein triggers a chain-reaction causing other proteins in the brain to change to the abnormal form. Eventually these abnormal proteins accumulate in the brain leading to the development of abnormal behavior and eventually death. How do cattle get Mad Cow Disease (BSE)?
