Image simulating cow with mad cow disease (BSE)
Mad cow disease. Photograph simulating a cow suffering from mad cow disease or BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). BSE is a disease of cows which causes extensive brain damage, leading to a lack of coordination, spasms and death. It is thought to have originated from the sheep disease scrapie when dairy cows were fed on offal containing the brains of infected sheep. Eating meat from affected cows is thought to increase the risk of developing the human brain disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD causes similar symptoms in humans as BSE does in cattle. It is thought to be caused by a prion, a virus- like protein strand. There is no cure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting reality of mad cow disease, also known as BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). The image depicts a simulated cow suffering from this devastating condition, which inflicts extensive brain damage leading to a lack of coordination, spasms, and ultimately death. Originating from scrapie, a sheep disease, it is believed that BSE emerged when dairy cows were fed offal containing infected sheep brains. Consuming meat from affected cows is thought to increase the risk of developing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a similar brain ailment in humans. CJD shares symptoms with BSE and is suspected to be caused by prions - virus-like protein strands. The gravity of this photograph serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences associated with BSE for both animals and humans alike. It highlights the urgent need for vigilance in animal care and health practices within veterinary medicine. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for either BSE or CJD. This image underscores the importance of ongoing research efforts aimed at understanding these diseases better and finding effective treatments or preventive measures. Science Photo Library has captured this distressing moment through their lens, shedding light on an issue that continues to impact our world today.
