identifying what mad cow disease is
Mad Cow disease is known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the scientific community. It is a transmittable, degenerative, slow growing fatal disease, which affects the central nervous system of adult cow, formed when a cow eats the central nervous tissue of another cow. Human can be affected by eating Beef that fed on food contain Central nervous system tissue, like the brain. When a human contracts this disease, it is called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), it is a very rare disorder, that causing the brain to break down, death is common with in the first year of contracting this disease. (Web MD) describe the actions of the British government, resent the protocol regarding disease outbreaks at that time.
The beginning actions of the response of British government were based of the belief that the chances of humans becoming infected with Mad Cow disease (BSE) was highly unlikely. The government believe this for around twelve years from 1986 to about 1998, nongovernmental authorities, scientist, and other countries, predicted a greater risk to the public. The government had enough time to prepare the people for the possibility that called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) and Mad Cow disease (BES) were linked (which …show more content…
there is a branch of the Government that specialized in controlling disease outbreak, and can respond to outbreaks around the world, and in the United States. The CDC would conduct a brief investigation to help provide technical assistance, to the area that has the outbreak. The goals of the investigation is to determine where the disease came from, what type of disease it is, when, and how the disease is contracted, and how to break the cycle of transmutation (CDC) . Once that is established, real time alerts will be available while the response is happing, and after the response. Frances Plan of action is very similar to the plan of action of the U.S. (WHO
