  1. bovine spongiform encephalitis

    Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease," is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle caused by abnormal proteins known as prions. These prions cause damage to the cow's central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as loss of coordination and abnormal behavior. BSE can be transmitted to humans, leading to a variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. This disease is fatal and there is currently no cure or treatment.
