The Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is characterized by a progressive deterioration of the brain. It attacks the central nervous system strictly. The first symptoms are behavioral and motor disturbances. The identification of the disease is confirmed by examination after death of the animal.
The first known case dates back to 1883. This disease is found in several species of ruminants in the wild.
The mad cow crisis has been caused by the introduction of carcasses of diseased animals in the production of animal meal.
This disease is rarely transmitted to humans when transmitted, the man develops the disease only rarely.
