    Encefalopatia espongiforme bovina
    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2001-11-30) TREVIZAN, Bianca G.; BANDARRA, Enio Pedone
    Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, known as 'mad cow' disease, is a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with prion as its etiologic agent. Contamination occurs through the ingestion of concentrates prepared with ingredients of animal origin contaminated by the prion protein. There is no treatment, and prophylaxis consists in the eradication of contaminated animals.
