This book presents important analyses of current issues in BSE
(bovine spongiform encephalopathy or "mad cow disease") as a fatal
neurological disease of cattle, believed to be transmitted mainly
by feeding infected cattle parts back to cattle. More than 187,000
cases have been reported world-wide, 183,000 of them in the United
Kingdom (UK) where BSE was first identified in 1986. The annual
number of new cases has declined steeply since 1992. Humans who eat
contaminated beef are believed susceptible to a rare but fatal
brain wasting disease, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD).
About 160 people have been diagnosed with vCJD since 1986, most in
the UK and none linked to any Canadian or U.S. meat consumption.
