2 The BSE epidemic in British cattle
2.Transmission can occur when healthy animals come in contact with tainted tissues from others with the disease.This results in protein aggregates, which then form dense plaque fibers, leading to the microscopic appearance of "holes" in the brain, degeneration of physical and mental abilities, and ultimately death.Different theories exist for the origin of prion proteins in cattle.Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus records cases of a disease with similar characteristics in the 4th and 5th Century AD.The BSE epidemic in British cattle
Cattle, like other food animals, are normally herbivores.In nature, cattle eat grass or grains.While other European countries like Germany required said animal byproducts to undergo a high temperature steam boiling process, this requirement had been eased in Britain as a measure to keep prices competitive.There is also some concern about those who work with (and therefore inhale) cattle meat and bone meal, such as horticulturists, who use it as fertilizer.Up to date statistics on all types of CJD are published by the UK CJD Surveillance Centre in Edinburgh.For many of the vCJD patients, direct evidence exists that they had consumed tainted beef, and this is assumed to be the mechanism by which all affected individuals contracted it.Disease incidence also appears to correlate with slaughtering practices that led to the mixture of nervous system tissue with hamburger and other beef.Although the BSE epizootic was eventually brought under control by culling all suspect cattle populations, people are still being diagnosed with vCJD each year (though the number of new cases currently has dropped to less than 5 per year).As a result the full extent of the human vCJD outbreak is still not fully known.The scientific consensus is that infectious BSE prion material is not destroyed through normal cooking procedures, meaning that contaminated beef foodstuffs prepared "well done" may remain infectious.In 2004 researchers reported evidence of a second contorted shape of prions in a rare minority of diseased cattle.In other words, this implies a second strain of BSE prion.Alan Colchester, a professor of neurology at the University of Kent, writing in the September 3, 2005 issue of the controversial medical journal, The Lancet, proposed a theory that the most likely initial origin of BSE in Britain was the importation from the Indian subcontinent of bone meal which contained CJD infected human remains."Misleading, highly mischievous, a figment of imagination, absurd," further adding that India maintained constant surveillance and had not had a single case of either BSE or vCJD.The authors responded in the January 22, 2006 issue of The Lancet that their theory is unprovable only in the same sense as all other BSE origin theories are and that the theory warrants further investigation.UK or Ireland and that the situation in other countries was being monitored."Concerns were also raised: "...BSE agent in gelatin products."Husbandry practices in the United States relating to BSE
Soybean meal is cheap and plentiful in the United States.As a result, the use of animal byproduct feeds was never common, as it was in Europe.In February 2001, the USGAO reported that the FDA, which is responsible for regulating feed, had not adequately policed the various bans.After the discovery of the first case of BSE in the U.Possibly due to pressure from large agribusiness, the United States has drastically cut back on the number of cows inspected for BSE.Dark green areas are countries with confirmed human cases of vCJD.BSE is the disease in cattle, while vCJD is the disease in people.The tests used for detecting BSE vary considerably as do the regulations in various jurisdictions for when, and which cattle, must be tested.For instance, in the EU the cattle tested are older (30 months+), while many cattle are slaughtered earlier than that.Newer tests are faster, more sensitive, and cheaper, so it is possible that future figures may be more comprehensive.Even so, currently the only reliable test is examination of tissues during an autopsy.As for vCJD in humans, autopsy tests are not always done and so those figures too are likely to be too low, but probably by a lesser fraction.Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit and so it is unlikely that any cases would be missed.CDC has refused to impose a national requirement that physicians and hospitals report cases of the disease.Instead, the agency relies on other methods, including death certificates and urging physicians to send suspicious cases to the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center (NPDPSC) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, which is funded by the CDC.Food Safety Research Information Office (November 2007).Jakob Disease, Current Data (April 2008).Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit (NCJDSU), University of Edinburgh (April 2008).CJD deaths 'may have peaked'."The BSE Inquiry", led by Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, report published October 2000.Supplements used in factory farming can spread disease.Food Safety and Inspection Service (March 2005).The term "chicken litter" also includes spilled chicken feed as well as fecal matter and feathers.Look up Bovine spongiform encephalopathy in

BSE: environmental causation?TSEs were once considered unlikely to infect other species, but some seem
to move rather easily among animals.CJD), a deadly brain illness that strikes about one person per million
per year, due to genetic or unknown causes.CJD appears among younger people, almost certainly
from eating mad cow meat.The gruesome death starts with mood
swings, numbness and uncontrolled body movements.There is no treatment and both diseases are uniformly fatal.CJD has been seen in the United States, vigilance and concern
are both mounting."They also include the anthrax vaccine, which the
government requires for soldiers serving in the Persian Gulf."Brazil, which had received cattle from Britain
in the 1980s.United Kingdom more than 10 years ago.TSE epidemic continues among deer and elk in Colorado and Wyoming,
exposing hunters, and cattle that graze the same terrain, to disease.Germany plunged 50 percent since November, and 34 countries have banned
German beef imports.Spain, where 12 cows showed characteristic holes
in their brains.The potential risk of BSE to such cattle is therefore exceedingly
low, even if the feed were contaminated.""We're not taking any chances.Mad Cow Disease: Stop the Madness!Mad Cow Disease has now been discovered in the United States.December 23, 2003, when the U.Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat
