BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)-like symptoms salivation, gait disorder, and the downer syndrome occurred to 8 heads of cattle at six cattle farms in Gyeonju, east eastern Gyeongsang province in 2013. Eight brain tissue samples using a vibration saw (Multimaster$^{(R)}$ FEIN, Germany) were collected referring to "The brain removal technique of transmisible spongiform encephalopathy sampling DVD" by Animal And Plant Quarantine Agency. Brain removal techinque using a vibration saw on the thick, solid frontal bone of cattle is more convenient for incision and removal than an ax for BSE testing.

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also termed prion diseases, are a threat to food safety and to human and animal health. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in humans is caused by the consumption of meat contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, mad cow disease). The BSE epidemic in the United Kingdom was shown to be related with the extensive use of BSE-contaminated meat-and-bone meal (MBM) and bovine offal. Many countries worldwide use MBM, as well as meat from cows, for aquaculture feed. This raises concerns about the safety of farmed fish, a major protein source for humans. The present work reviews recent studies on fish prion protein and the transmissibility of mammalian prion agents to fish, providing insights into the future direction of fish prion research.

2003년 12월, 우리나라에서의 고병원성 가금인플루엔자(HPAI ： High Pathogenic Avian Influenza) 발생과 미국에서의 소해면상뇌증(BSE : Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) 발생이 매스컴을 통해 여과없이 발표되기 시작되자 닭고기와 쇠고기의 소비가 급격하게 줄어. 축산 생산기반마저 위협을 받는 위기에 처한 바가 있었다. (중략)

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is present in this country and to analyze the Global BSE Risk (GBR) status in Bangladesh. A total of 2,000 brain samples were collected from cattle older than 30 months of age, slaughtered for human consumption in the district slaughter houses from 2005 to 2006. The brainstem (obex), Pyriform lobe, cerebrum and cerebellum were subjected to histopathological study. Samples that showed some nonspecific lesions were subjected to immunohistochemistry and only brain stem to ELISA for the detection of abnormal prion protein $PrP^{sc}$. In passive surveillance, annual overall diseases of cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats in Bangladesh were collected from Department of Livestock Services (DLS), Dhaka to investigate the occurrences of neurological diseases. Import related data were collected from "National Export Promotion Bureau" Kawran Bazar, Bangladesh Bank and DLS to analyze the importing products of animal origin (cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats) from different countries to find whether or not the imported products posed any risk for the BSE. In an actire surveillance conducted in slaughter house, histopathologically BSE specific lesions were not detected in any of the brain samples, but other nonspecific lesions were observed. No $PrP^{sc}$ was detected from the samples by immunohistochemistry and ELISA. DLS report also supported the absence of BSE in cattle and buffalo and scrapie in sheep and goats in Bangladesh. It was also clearly recorded that Bangladesh imported livestock products from countries in GBR level I and II but not from countries in GBR level III and IV. From this study it apparently seems that BSE is not currently present in the indigenous animals in Bangladesh and poses no or negligible risk to human and animal health.

최근 소의 광우병 발생보고가 영국에서 16만여두 그리고 EU 14게국에서 약 150여 마리에 이르므로써 우산업분야에 미치는 심각한 경제적 여파와 인체에서의 Creutzfeldt-Jakob병과 어떤 연관성 논란으로 공중보건상 심각한 논쟁이 일고 있다. 본회 학술홍보 위원회에서는 이 질병에 관한 현재까지의 알려진 일반적인 지식을 정리하여 회원들에게 우선 소개하고자한다. 이 질병에 관한 보다 정리된 종합적인 내용은 수의과학연구소 해외전염병과에서 정리하여 다음호에 특집으로 소개할 것입니다.
