A neurological disorder that impacts cattle was found in a farm in Scotland. Mad cow disease, a well – known disease, is rapidly spreading and spreading to the central nervous system of the infected and killed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease causes erratic behavior among the infected tissues in their brains.
The case found in Scotland was isolated, the BBC reported. It was a farm in the Huntly area and was discovered on the farm.
The disease was found in an animal after it was dead but before it was turned into food or came into contact with other food for consumption, the BBC reported. There is still an investigation where the disease could have originated.
This case is one of less than 20 found in the United Kingdom since 2011. Tests are done on a regular basis.
In 1995 there were 14,562 cases of BSE in the U.K. and in the following years were significantly fewer cases. Exactly how is the disease spreads? It is known that the disease transfers through proteins called prions. What is unknown is how exactly it's so bad that the other cow gets sick with the disease.
Researchers think the prion might be a normal prion protein and change to a bad protein that's harmful to the cows. It is likely to start the rounds in the 1970s but researchers are not completely sure.
There is evidence of different types of strains of BSE or mad cow disease, according to the CDC. There is the classic BSE found in the US and possibly also in the United States and Canada.
They are very little risk to humans because they have been infected.
