Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is a transmissible, slowly progressive, degenerative, and fatal disease affecting the central nervous system of adult cattle. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has tested hundreds of thousands of cattle for BSE.
Humans are obviously not part of the bovine species, thus, when Mad Cow is transmitted to humans, the diseases name is called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) being one of 4 types of human spongiform diseases, and Mad Cow being the cause of a variant of that.
