Prevention and Safeguard Measures For Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

prevention and shelter Measures For Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).AbstractBovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), normally referred to as mad cow complaint, is a disease that damages the important nervous system and exits to death. This disease is caused by perverted proteins, or prions, and flat kills nervous tissues, thus is directly linked to the spinal cord and thinker. The united States Department of Agriculture and the unite States pabulum and drug Administrations have stiff safeguards and firewalls to prevent BSE-contaminated beef from entering into the human food supply. Human expending of BSE- contaminated beef results to variant Creutzfedt-Jakob disease (vCJD), which is also fatal. So far, there are no cures for BSE, or for vCJD, but only treatments to help stabilize the symptoms of the disease as the disease progresses.Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also cognize as mad cow disease, is a slowly progressive, degenerative, fatal disease that damages the central nervous system of adult cattle. It is universally certain among the scientific community that the cause of BSE is from infectious forms of prions, which is a grapheme of protein that is found in animals and is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). The lead cause of BSE is not known. In cattle that have BSE, these irregular prions initially occur in the small intestines and tonsils, and are found in the brain, spinal cord, and other nervous tissues of animals in later stages of this disease (USFDA/CFSAN, 2005). These abnormal prions trigger chain reactions through all the other proteins in the brain and cause those proteins to change into the abnormal prions, thus damaging the brain and the result is death (Massachusetts Dep... ...h.
