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.
Symptoms. Mad cow disease symptoms are associated with the gradual degeneration of the brain. The disease in humans is not the same as that found in cattle â hence the use of vCJD as its proper name â but as in the original form, the brain is slowly destroyed by organisms known as prions.ad Cow Disease â correctly known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis â hit the headlines some years ago when it was discovered to have infected many cattle in the UK and elsewhere. In its original form it affected cows by slowly destroying their brains.
