APPENDIX - EU Country categorisation What is BSE? Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease", is a fatal brain disease that affects cattle. The disease is named after the characteristic sponge-like changes to the brain that it causes. BSE usually has an incubation period of 4-5 years from the time that the animal is exposed. The condition is fatal within weeks or months of its onset. The first signs are weight loss and nervousness. BSE is one type of a group of prion diseases referred to as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). TSEs are fatal diseases that cause spongy degeneration of the brain and severe neurological symptoms. Another example of a TSE is scrapie, a disease found in sheep and goats. TSEs have also been found in other animals including mink, North American mule deer, elk and cats. TSE's found in humans include Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) and variant-Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (vCJD). What causes BSE?

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Introduction Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease of unknown cause. Patients are usually aged between 50 and 75 and typical clinical features include a rapidly progressive dementia associated, myoclonus and a characteristic electroencephalographic pattern. Neuropathological examination reveals cortical spongiform change, hence the term `spongiform encephalopathy'. H.G. Creutzfeldt is credited with the first description of the disorder in 1920, although by current diagnostic criteria his case would be highly atypical. A year later another German neurologist, A. Jakob, described four cases, at least two of whom had clinical features suggestive of the entity we recognise as CJD. Aetiology The nature of the transmissible agent is the matter of some controversy. Previously considered a `slow virus' no viral agent has ever been convincingly demonstrated and no evidence of an immunological response seen. Additionally the infectious pathogen shows a remarkable resistance to treatments that would normally be expected to inactivate viruses. The viral hypothesis has been elegantly challenged by the prion (` pro teinaceous in Epidemiology The majority of cases are sporadic (85%), between 10-15% are familial and the remainder are iatrogenic.

Although averaging only 10-15 cases a year since its first appearance in 1994, its future magnitude and geographic distribution (in countries that have imported infected British cattle or cattle products, or have endogenous BSE) cannot yet be predicted. The possibility that large numbers of apparently healthy persons might be incubating the disease raises concerns about iatrogenic transmissions through instrumentation (surgery and medical diagnostic procedures) and blood and organ donations. Government agencies in many countries continue to implement new measures to minimize this risk.

Contacts Media centre WHO WHO sites Media centre Fact sheets ... printable version Fact sheet N°180 Revised November 2002 Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is a rare and fatal human neurodegenerative condition. As with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vCJD is classified as a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) because of characteristic spongy degeneration of the brain and its ability to be transmitted. vCJD is a new disease that was first described in March 1996. Before the identification of vCJD, CJD was recognized to exist in only three forms. Sporadic cases, which have an unknown cause and occur throughout the world at the rate of about one per million people, account for 85–90% of CJD cases. Familial cases are associated with a gene mutation and make up 5–10% of all CJD cases. Iatrogenic cases result from the accidental transmission of the causative agent via contaminated surgical equipment or as a result of cornea or dura mater transplants or the administration of human-derived pituitary growth hormones. Less than 5% of CJD cases are iatrogenic. In contrast to the traditional forms of CJD, vCJD has affected younger patients (average age 29 years, as opposed to 65 years), has a relatively longer duration of illness (median of 14 months as opposed to 4.5 months) and is strongly linked to exposure, probably through food, to a TSE of cattle called Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).

Rarely, it can be genetically inherited. The disorder itself is rare, occurring in about 1 out of 1 million people. It usually first appears in midlife, beginning between ages 20 and 70, with average age at onset of symptoms in the late 50s. However, some cases have occurred in adolescents who have received
