Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy [Mad Cow] Prevalence in the US
In a new report by the Centers for Epidemiology and Animal Health, some positive news:
"Among the 735,213 cattle sampled in the 7 years prior to March 17, 2006, two infected indigenous animals were identified by the surveillance in addition to the 2003 imported cow from Canada. The results of the two methods of analysis suggest that the number of infected cattle in the United States is extremely low."
It remains to be seen how long these numbers last. It is still not clear what causes the spread of BSE, so suffice it to say we'll be hearing about this stuff sooner or later.
Here's the link to the full study:
