Descriptor encefalopatía espongiforme bovina
Entry term(s) encefalopatía bovina espongiforme
enfermedad de las vacas locas
Scope note: Encefalopatía espongiforme transmisible del ganado vacuno que se asocia con proteínas priónicas anormales en el cerebro. En los animales afectados se produce excitabilidad y salivación seguidas de ATAXIA. Este trastorno se ha asociado con el consumo de proteínas derivadas de rumiantes afectados por tembladera (SCRAPIE). Esta afección puede trasmitirse a humanos, y recibe la denominación de nueva variante del SÍNDROME DE CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB. (Vet Rec 1998 Jul 25;143(41):101-5)

Scope note: A transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cattle associated with abnormal prion proteins in the brain. Affected animals develop excitability and salivation followed by ATAXIA. This disorder has been associated with consumption of SCRAPIE infected ruminant derived protein. This condition may be transmitted to humans, where it is referred to as variant or new variant CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME. (Vet Rec 1998 Jul 25;143(41):101-5)
