Extractions: Travel Health Advisory Mad Cow Disease or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in Europe Health Canada is aware of travellers' concerns about recent reports of domestic animal cases of mad cow disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Europe. BSE is a fatal degenerative illness that affects the central nervous system of cattle. It is part of a family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or TSEs, whose different forms affect different species of animals. All TSEs are believed to be linked to an abnormal form of a protein known as a prion. A build-up of this abnormal protein leads to a sponge-like appearance of the affected brain, causing neurological illness and eventual death. Diagnosis of BSE, not possible in live animals, can only be done by examining an animal's brain after death. A human form of TSE was first diagnosed in the 1920s and was named Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (CJD) after the two German scientists who described the illness. Classical CJD (cCJD) occurs naturally in the population at a rate of approximately one person per million individuals per year, making it extremely rare. On average, 30 Canadians will be diagnosed with cCJD each year, with an average age of 60 years. There is no known cure for the disease. In the early 1990s, British researchers noted a new illness having many of the classical CJD symptoms, but with several unique characteristics. Most notably, the emerging illness affected people in their late 20s. In 1996, researchers confirmed a new variant of CJD, now called vCJD. The cause of vCJD appears to be the consumption of beef and beef products from cattle infected with BSE. Following this discovery, strict measures were put in place in the UK and elsewhere to control the spread of BSE among cattle and to minimize the risk to human and animal health.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION The first observation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is estimated to have occurred in Great Britain in April of 1985. A specific diagnosis was arrived at in 1986. By June of 1990 there were 14,324 confirmed cases out of an estimated population of 10 million cattle in Great Britain (2, 22, 23, 104). Other cases have been reported in Ireland and Oman in 1989 and 1990, respectively (22, 23, 62, 52).

Extractions: Mad Cow Disease (BSE) Because of NSP's long-standing commitment to superior quality, our consumers may rest assured that all of our products are free of Mad Cow Disease. NSP has taken steps to protect our customers from this anathema for nearly a decade. As an additional proactive measure to ensure safe products, NSP has obtained a written guarantee from each of our bovine material suppliers that the materials are free from disease. All bovine raw materials used in our products are sourced exclusively from countries deemed by U.S. regulatory authorities to be "BSE-free." Our gelatin products, including the capsules that encase many of our products, are especially safe from contamination. In addition to the above precautions, we ensure that gelatin of bovine origin we procure has been specially processed at temperatures and pH levels that denature the proteinaceous prions that transmit the disease, should they somehow be present. Ed Corlett, of the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Public Affairs Office, said of Nature's Sunshine Products, "Companies like yours, that take proactive measures to keep the public safe, will prevent the spread of BSE."

Extractions: A NEW VARIANT OF CJD A statement has been made today in the Houses of Parliament about a new variant of CJD and the possibility that this is linked to BSE exposure before the specified bovine offal (SBO) ban in 1989. GPs and public health physicians in particular are likely to receive requests for information and advice. This brief note is designed to help you respond. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare neurological disease, first described in the 1920s and found worldwide. It usually presents in late middle-age with progressive dementia, and is usually fatal within 6 months. It is characterised by spongiform changes in the brain, but this can only readily be diagnosed at post mortem. CJD occurs worldwide at an annual incidence rate of 0.5-1 per million per annum. In view of concerns that BSE could possibly be transmissible to man, the CJD Surveillance Unit was set up in 1990 to monitor the incidence of disease in the UK. To date, the UK annual incidence remains within expected limits - in 1994 the incidence was 0.92 per million and the provisional figure for 1995 is 0.64 per million.

Extractions: (Last updated 3 Feb, 2003) www@niah.affrc.go.jp [Source: OIE Disease Information] Information received on 10 Sep 2001 from Dr Shigeo Miyajima, Director of Animal Health Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Tokyo: A 5-year-old Holstein cow kept on a dairy farm in Chiba prefecture was slaughtered on 6 Aug 2001 at an abattoir. As the cow had dystaxia, a brain sample was taken and sent to the National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) and subjected to Prionics Check test with a negative result on 15 Aug 2001. A brain sample from this cow was also sent to the prefecture Livestock Hygiene Service Center and subjected to histopathological examination and found to have vacuoles on 24 Aug 2001. The same brain sample was sent to the NIAH on 6 Sep 2001 for histopathological examination with the same result, and subjected to immunohistochemical examination with a positive result on 10 Sep 2001. Control measures: immediately after bovine spongiform encephalopathy was suspected, the herd was been placed under quarantine by the prefecture veterinary inspector.

Abstracts are a good starting point, but reading the original article is well advised. What is not doubted is that infection by scrapie did not cause the epidemic, which was caused by the recycling of cattle protein back to cattle. Although scrapie can be transmitted to cattle [Gibbs et al, 1991] it has proved far less infectious than BSE-infected cattle brain. The potential for human risk has also been present throughout the epidemic [Patterson and Dealler, 1995]. 1.2 The environmental hypotheses

Also known as "mad cow disease", this is one of a number of transmissible encephalopathies that affect a range of species. Its cause is considered to be due to a 'prion', a mutant protein that is able to infect cells and induce the natural non-mutant protein in these cells to change its conformation into the mutant protein. This mutant protein proliferates and accumulates, inducing cellular disfunction and death. There is a long incubation in the disease with an insidious onset of signs. Central nervous signs include behavioural changes where animals become apprehensive or more nervous when having to go through gates etc. Animals will also show abnormalities in gait and posture including hindlimb ataxia and hypermetria. Affected cattle may also be hyperaesthetic reacting to sound or touch. All of these signs may be present. Increasing debility and weight loss occurs and progression to death can take up to several months. The important feature of the mutant prion proteins of TSE diseases are that they are relatively indestructible compared to normal brain cell proteins by being resistant to formalin and most disinfectants and highly resistant to heat. Temperatures of 1340C in steam at 3 bar pressure for 20 min is required to destroy prion activity.
