What Is Mad Cow Disease and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease? Mad cow disease is an infectious disease caused by prions that affect the brains of cattle. The actual name of the disease is bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a name that refers to the changes seen in brain tissue of affected cows.
Alzheimerâs disease is also thought to be a result of the accumulation of Amyloids within the brain. Prions, however, are not the cause in Alzheimerâs case. Mad Cow disease is only one of numerous diseases throughout the animal kingdom that cause this same problem. There is Scrapie, affecting sheep and goats.
