What is Mad Cow Disease? || Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy || BSE || vCJD || How Prion Kills?

Mad Cow Disease, scientifically known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is a progressive, degenerative, and fatal neurological disorder that primarily affects cattle. The disease is caused by an abnormal form of protein called prion, which misfolds and accumulates in the brain, leading to the formation of microscopic holes and spongy tissue. As the brain's function is compromised, the affected cattle exhibit neurological symptoms, such as behavioral changes, lack of coordination, and difficulty in movement. The disease raised considerable concern due to its potential transmission to humans through the consumption of beef products derived from infected cattle. In humans, this condition is referred to as Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), and it is invariably fatal with no known cure. The first cases of Mad Cow Disease were identified in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s. Initially, researchers struggled to understand its cause and transmission. Cattle affected by BSE exhibited unusual neurological symptoms, such as loss of coordination, aggression, and difficulty walking. The causal agent of Mad Cow Disease, is an abnormal form of a protein called prion. Prions are unique infectious agents as they consist solely of misfolded proteins and do not contain any genetic material like DNA or RNA. Mad Cow Disease, scientifically known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), can transmit to humans through the consumption of beef products contaminated with the abnormal prion protein (PrP^Sc). Diagnosing Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) can be challenging due to its rarity, diverse symptoms, and similarity to other neurological disorders. There is no single definitive test for vCJD . Strict regulations and guidelines have been implemented in the food and agricultural industries to minimize the risk of BSE transmission to humans through contaminated beef products. These regulations include the prohibition of using certain cattle tissues, such as brain and spinal cord, in human food or animal feed production. for more detail, kindly go through the video and don't forget to subscribe our channel ‪@tinypredators‬ Thank you!! #What is Mad Cow Disease #what is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy #what is Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease #what is BSE #What is vCJD #what is jakob disease #what are prions #how prion kills #what is protein floding #spongy brain #contaminated beef #CNS #CSF #nervous system #history of Mad Cow Disease what is causal agent of Mad Cow Disease PrP^C PrP^Sc #How Mad Cow Disease transmits to humans #what are symptoms of vCJD #diagnosis of vCJD vCJD prevention #baayo #biology with aagam singh #shomu's biology #basic & applied microbiology classes #microbiology with sumi #MLT education point #quick support #Dr sonu panwar NEET to next infectious diseases #tiny Predators For more video like this kindly subscribe my channel @tinypredators Thank you....
