Abstract

Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been discovered at a farm in Scotland. This has led to restrictions on animal movement and potential disruptions to trade. The infected animal did not enter the food chain and the case was identified through routine surveillance. The government has emphasized that British beef remains safe and can still be traded. While the risk associated with this isolated case is minimal, it is important to note that consuming meat from animals infected with BSE has been linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. In the past, the UK experienced an epidemic of mad cow disease that resulted in export bans on beef. [Extracted from the article]
