Computer art of mad cow (BSE), flames, human brain
" Mad cow" disease. Abstract computer art of flames engulfing a cow with BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) or " mad cow" disease. Human brains are seen depicting the infection of humans. Fire is the method by which these cows are disposed of. BSE-infected cows suffer nerve damage, a disease that appeared in 1985 in Britain. It is believed to have arisen from scrapie, a similar disease in sheep and goats, and transmitted by feeding cattle with infected sheep. The agent responsible for BSE is a virus-like organism known as a prion. There is concern that beef and cattle-related products eaten by people may cause the related Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) in humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer art print showcases the alarming reality of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow" disease. The artwork depicts a powerful visual representation of flames engulfing a cow infected with BSE, symbolizing the destructive nature of this neurodegenerative disease. As we delve deeper into the image, human brains are intricately woven into the composition, representing how humans can also fall victim to this infection. The use of fire in this artwork serves as a poignant reminder that it is through incineration that these afflicted cows are disposed of due to their compromised state. BSE-infected cows suffer from severe nerve damage, and this devastating disease first emerged in Britain back in 1985. It is believed to have originated from scrapie, a similar ailment found in sheep and goats, transmitted through feeding cattle with infected sheep. Responsible for causing BSE is an organism called prion - virus-like in nature yet distinctively dangerous. This artwork raises concerns about potential transmission to humans who consume beef or cattle-related products, which may lead to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) - a related condition affecting human brain function. Through its abstract portrayal and medical symbolism, this thought-provoking print by Science Photo Library aims to shed light on the critical issue of mad cow disease while emphasizing the importance of animal care and public health awareness surrounding bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
