Prevention and Preventive Measure of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Abstract bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease, damages the central nervous system and is a disease leading to death. This disease is caused by abnormal proteins and prions and directly related to the spinal cord and brain because it directly kills the nervous tissue. The US Department of Agriculture and the US Food and Drug Administration established protection measures and firewalls to prevent BSE contaminated beef from entering human food supplies.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease", is a member of a family of prion diseases or infectious spongiform encephalopathies. After the first mad cow disease in Britain occurred in 1987, it was found that mad cow disease and a new human disease (variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease) and animals (cat spongiform encephalopathy, foreign ungulatory encephalopathy, Spongiform encephalopathy of longevity animals Prion is a unique infectious agent that brings unique challenges to physicians. This discussion will focus on the nature of prion, the factors that cause the epidemic of mad cow disease, the influence on the treatment of suspected CJD patients, and the efforts to limit drug diffusion.
CWD is a contagious spongiform encephalopathy and belongs to the same type of disease as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE - commonly referred to as "mad cow disease"). These diseases are caused by prion, which is an infectious protein. These diseases affect the brain and spinal cord, causing symptoms such as weakness, discordance, abnormal behavior. How CWD is transmitted from animals to animals is not fully understood, but it is transmitted by direct contact between animals or when an animal eats soil contaminated with saliva or feces of infected animals It is conceivable. It shows the path from Moose to Moose.
The term BSE is short but it represents bovine spongiform encephalopathy with a long name. "Cattle" means that the disease affects the cow, "sponge" means that the brain of the diseased cow looks like a sponge under the microscope, "encephalopathy" is a disease of the brain It means there is. Mad cow disease is often called "mad cow disease." Most scientists believe that mad cow disease is caused by a protein called a prion protein. Normal prion proteins become harmful abnormal prion proteins for reasons that are not well understood. The sick cow's body does not even know that there is an abnormal prion. I do not know where it is, the bull's body can not resist disease.
