Summary edit
| Description |
English: In 1985, the first cases of a new disease in cattle were reported in the United Kingdom. Post-mortem examinations of brain and spinal column tissue of infected cattle provided the first clues: the tissue was spongy and riddled with microscopic holes - similar to sheep with scrapie. The disease was identified and named bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). However the media quickly dubbed it 'mad-cow' disease, because of its effect on cattle behaviour. This slide shows a section of brain from a cow infected with the disease. The brown staining indicates the presence of the agent causing the disease.
