Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as Mad Cow Disease.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy: AKA Mad Cow Disease. Killed 100,000 cattle in the UK and Europe in the 1990s.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. An infectious degenerative brain disease occurring in cattle. Also called mad cow disease.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (commonly known as 'mad cow disease'), a slowly progressive and ultimately fatal neurological disorder of adult cattle. (see vCJD and TSE)

bovine spongiform encephalopathy. a degenerative brain disorder affecting cattle, one of the family of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. A number of scientific theories have been advanced regarding BSE's origins, including the contamination of cattle feed with infective agents derived from sheep carcasses, but precise causes are unknown

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or mad cow disease).
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease, la vache folle, etc).
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. (a.k.a. Mad Cow Disease) a degenerative disease of brain tissue ("encephalopathy"). BSE is caused by prions and results in the deposition of amyloid tissue thatcauses a breakdown of brain tissue leaving the infected brain with a "spongy" ("spongiform") appearance.
Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy. A disease of cattle (often called 'mad cow disease') caused by an agent that is neither a bacterium or a virus. First recognized in 1986 it has a long incubation period.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. (pronounced: "BOW-vine SPONGY-form en-SEF-el-opathy") Bovine means cow. Spongiform means sponge-like. "Cephalos" meaning "head" in Greek, indicates a condition of the brain or spinal column. Autopsies of infected cows indicated that atrophied brain tissue had small holes throughout in sponge-like manner. Symptoms include lack of coordination and inability to stand.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is a neurological disorder affecting adult cattle. It is a subacute transmissible spongiform encephalopathy and is believed to be the bovine equivalent of scrapie disease in sheep, that has occurred as the result of the exposure of cattle to animal feeds containing the scrapie agent.
bovine spongiform encephalopathy. A form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects cattle.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. A fatal neurodegenerative cattle disease that causes the brain of the cow to waste away. Primarily thought to be caused by the feeding of the remains of ruminant animals (sheep, other cows) to still-living ruminant animals. Humans that eat meat from a cow infected with BSE may contract the related disease "new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease" (see nvCJD). Source
