Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a transmissible, slowly progressive, degenerative, and fatal disease affecting the central nervous system of adult cattle. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has tested hundreds of thousands of cattle for BSE.
The word BSE is short but it stands for a disease with a long name, bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Bovine means that the disease affects cows, spongiform refers to the way the brain from a sick cow looks spongy under a microscope, and encephalopathy indicates that it is a disease of the brain. BSE is commonly called âmad cow disease.â.
