Over the next few years the epidemic grew considerably and affected all parts of the country but to different degrees. It reached its peak in 1992, when 36,680 cases were confirmed, and since then has shown a steady decline. Further information, including graphs, is available on the statistics pages.

Many of these are childhood vaccines that have contributed to a significant reduction of vaccine-preventable diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccines have reduced preventable infectious diseases to an all-time low and now few people experience the devastating effects of measles, pertussis and other illnesses. Vaccines, as with all products regulated by FDA, undergo a rigorous review of laboratory and clinical data to ensure the safety, efficacy, purity and potency of these products. Vaccines approved for marketing may also be required to undergo additional studies to further evaluate the vaccine and often to address specific questions about the vaccine's safety, effectiveness, or possible side effects.

The Members of the Committee of the Inquiry were: Return to an Order of the Honourable the House of Commons dated October 2000 for the Report, evidence and supporting papers of the Inquiry into the emergence and identification of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) and the action taken in response to it up to 20 March 1996.

    Extractions: "The organophosphates interact with manganese by acting as an oxydising agent. They change the manganese from a safe form into a highly lethal free-radical generating form so to get spongiform disease of the new variant type you would need to be simultaneously exposed to these two environmental factors. In the traditional form of the disease one is exposed to a much weaker oxidising agent in the form of ultra violet radiation that is why traditional spongiform disease always starts in the retina in the eye and it occurs in populations that live high up in snow-covered mountains - with UV light is notoriously high. " AND "Avoid use of head lice shampoos and exposure to other forms of organophosphate insecticides. Also be a bit cautious of using mobile phones too intensively because they have an oxydising effect on the brain just like organophosphates. Also avoid living too near to industries that pollute the atmosphere with high levels of manganese such as industries that use manganese as a lead replacement in petrol etc." Mark Purdey, whose information I've posted before, from the UK was on a special report (kind of like 60 minutes) on BBC 2 Sunday night (Correspondent). They did an excellent job. It seems to be about high levels of manganese and organophosphates (or other oxydizing things)

Hypothetically termed a prion to denote an infectious protein, because a partially protease resistant isoform of a normal host protein, PrP, is the only detectable macromolecule associated with infectivity. RESISTANCE TO PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL ACTION Temperature: pH: Stable over a wide range of pH. Disinfectants: Survival: Recommended decontamination measures will reduce titres but may be incompletely effective if dealing with high titre material, when agent is protected within dried organic matter, or in tissue preserved in aldehyde fixatives. Survives in tissues post-mortem after a wide range of rendering processes. Related hamster scrapie infectivity can survive interment in soil for 3 years and dry heat of 1 hour at temperatures as high as 360°C. EPIDEMIOLOGY The incidence during the course of the epidemic in Great Britain has been low. Within affected herds the maximum annual incidence was 3%.

    Extractions: Current science indicates that BSE is not found in the meat we commonly eat, such as steaks, roasts and ground beef. After years of research, scientists have never found BSE infectivity in beef muscle or fat. The most recent firewall established by USDA and FDA ensures that all material that could potentially carry the BSE agent (such as brain and spinal cord) does not enter the food supply.

    Extractions: Health Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Information for consumers - GUIDE Second edition - 29.10.1996 The announcement made by the United Kingdom authorities on 20 March 1996 that a link between bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) could not be ruled out provoked an unprecedented crisis of confidence among European consumers with regard to beef and bovine products. Since then, a flood of contradictory and often incomplete information has merely amplified these concerns. It is appropriate, then, to inform consumers about the situation and the measures to reinforce consumer safety which have been taken or which are envisaged in the framework of the European Union and to try to outline the scientific uncertainties at the root of the crisis. This briefing, which incorporates, updates and supplements the guide of 28 May 1996, and which was prepared by the Interdepartmental Working Party established by the Commission on 27 March 1996, sets out to do just that.

In relation to BSE , the Government of Canada, through Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ( CFIA ), have responded to the challenges presented by developing a comprehensive suite of internationallyrecognized, science-based measures to effectively minimize the likelihood of exposure, amplification and spread of BSE within the cattle population and to protect consumers from the associated human health risks.

It is what is known as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). Other TSE s include scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans. Although the exact cause of BSE is unknown, it is associated with the presence of an abnormal protein called a prion. There is no treatment or vaccine currently available for the disease.
