Lorraine Day, M.D. What is Mad Cow Disease? Mad Cow Disease is the common term for Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy (BSE), a progressive neurological disorder of cattle which can be transmitted to other species, including humans. In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease.
Mad cow disease is an incurable, fatal brain disease that affects cattle. Different versions of the disease can affect certain other animals, like goats and sheep. The medical name for mad cow disease is bovine spongiform encephalopathy (pronounced: BO-vine SPUN-jih-form en-seh-fah-LA-puh-thee), or BSE for short. It's called mad cow disease because it affects a cow's nervous system, causing a cow to act strangely and lose control of its ability to do normal things, such as walk.
