Bovine somatotropin

an animal and a human. The disease infested brain of the animal or human is slowly, progressively, and severely damaged. It has been categorized as a disease, which falls into the category of a disease known as Spongiform Encephalopathy. Having Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is an over-dramatized way of specifying that one has diseased brain tissue which is; spongy, porous, and no

sources which may cause infectious CJD are medical procedures involving surgical instruments, growth hormone from human sources and certain transplanted human tissues. Another cause is ingestion of meat or other products from cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (also known as mad cow disease). In the mid 1990’s scientists traced this type of CJD from cattle that were fed a diet comprised of processed brain tissue from other animals to individuals who consumed the beef. However,

The Horrifying Details of Mad Cow Disease      Mad Cow Disease, scientifically referred to as (BSE) Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, is a disease that affects those humans who eat the meat from infected cows. Mad Cow Disease is one of several fatal brain diseases called (TSE) Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy. (USDA) There was evidence of a new illness resembling the sheep disease scrapie. It was technically named BSE but quickly acquired the mad cow tag because of the way infected cattle

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is more commonly known to humans as Mad Cow Disease or BSE. BSE originated from scrapie or Endemic Spongiform Encephalopathy, which is a disease that has affected mostly sheep and goats. BSE is an illness that attacks the brain and spinal cord of adult cattle due to an infection by a transmissible agent known as a prion. Once affected by BSE cattle began to develop strange behavior such as aggression, lack of coordination with the inability to stand or walk, and abnormal

1.0 Introduction Meat is one of the main consumed food in the world in past decades when compared with other types of food items. There are many advantages and disadvantages of consuming meat. The main advantage is that it contains proteins, vitamin B6, B12 and several other growth factors which are essential for the cell growth and immunity. The disadvantage is animals are injected with antibodies and several hormones such as estrogen, testosterone to boost their growth. Hence, it causes cancer

decrease any chance of human health endangerment. Further paragraphs will include the etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tools, treatment protocols, and prevention and control programs for a handful of the many diseases that animals can encounter. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a neurological disorder that affects cattle and that results from infection by a transmissible agent called a prion (1A). It is a contagious and infectious disease. It is also called mad cow disease. The term spongiform

INTRODUCTION: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is viral in origin called "Neethling virus" belongs to a family of Poxviridae which includes pox virus for both sheep and goat (sheep pox virus and goat pox virus), and it is infectious and eruptive disease the insects play important role as a vector by biting specially within wet summer and autumn months. All cattle breed susceptible to infected and there is no evidence or study present that a specific age or breed of cattle are more than others to exposed

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE ) found in some white tailed deer. CWD is associated with diseases such as Mad-Cow disease, Scrapie, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. With well supported evidence it is hypothesized that CWD originated from Scrapie. The causation of CWD is an abnormal form of PrPcwd prion. This prion is a naturally occurring protein found in mammals. Prions lack genome and are highly resistant to degradation. Chronic

disease is an infectious and transmittable form of a prion, although extremely rare it still becomes highly fatal if infected. This disease can also be classified as a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) that is gained through exposure to the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) from contaminated cattle or meat. As this is not a prominently spread disease around the world and considering it was only recognised in 1996 it has only held 175 cases in the United Kingdom, 25 in Spain, 4 in Ireland

Aspirin and Reye Syndrome Reye Syndrome (RS), a disease resulting in encephalopathy, fatty degeneration of the liver, persistent vomiting, combativeness, and potentially death has become a topic of concern for public health officials. RS occurs among children, 18 years and younger, who have experienced a viral disease, such as influenza or varicella, and consumed aspirin or salicylates. Once the onset of RS occurs, the disease has the potential to progress rapidly to a deep coma, and even death
