Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease, is an incurable and invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle. [2] Symptoms include abnormal behavior, trouble walking, and weight loss. [ 1 ]

Dec 1, 2024 · In this study, we assessed the BSE risk of bovine spray-dried red blood cells (SDRBC) as an ingredient of aquafeed. Fish fed with bovine SDRBC could indirectly result in exposure of ruminants to BSE infectivity because one of the exemptions of the feed ban is the use of fishmeal as an ingredient in calf milk replacers.

BSE in felids is called feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), and BSE in zoo ruminants was formerly called 'spongiform encephalopathy of exotic ruminants.'

Jul 28, 2009 · Two main types of plaque-like deposits were identified in the brains of the BSE-challenged fish: fibrous, diffusely stained aggregates (Fig. 8A, D, G, J), and those that were more amorphous and dense (Fig. 8B, E, H, K).

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) belongs to the unusual group of progressively degenerative neurological diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).

Feb 9, 2009 · The TSE and FISH project aimed to assess the risk of TSE transmission to fish from contaminated feed. The Institute of Agrobiotechnology of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH/INA) led a group of three other research institutes during the project.

Dec 22, 2007 · The assessment of the BSE related-risk of bovine SDRC from slaughtered bovine animals considered fit for human consumption to be included in aqua feed is theoretically feasible both semi-quantitatively and quantitatively by developing a probabilistic risk assessment model.

Background: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is an emerging zoonotic disease of cattle associated with pathological prion protein (PrP sc ) transmitted via meat and bone meal (MBM).
