Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a progressive neurological disease of cattle. It is caused by prions, which are infectious agents made up of protein material. The prion proteins afect the brain structure of infected animals, causing the …

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

USDA conducts surveillance for Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), referred to as "mad cow disease", in cattle to determine if, and at what level, the disease is present in the U.S. cattle population.
