How do prions kill those infected?
They get BSE or Kuru or Scrapie.
Can safe gelatin raw materials get infected with BSE in a production plant during the production process if BSE infected raw material was used at some point before?
Absolutely yes. BSE is not a germ - it is a crystal. If processing tables, equipment, storage areas, or tubing is not thoroughly cleaned of all crystals, new gelatin materials can pick it up. Heat and disinfection are ineffective in preventing BSE. It is not living, so it cannot be killed.
What has been done to stop the spread of BSE?
the British government took steps to stop the spread of BSE, banning the use of bovine offal in feed and other products and ordering the slaughter of infected cows.
Can avian flu be contracted from handling the eggs of infected chickens?
Yes.
How has BSE been eradicated from the cattle population?
BSE stands for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and is a disease of the bovine brain. It is also known as mad cow disease. BSE still exists today. In the past, when cows are known to be infected with this disease, they are usually slaughtered. Additionally, there is a ban on meat and bone meal, as this is a risk factor for cows contracting the disease. In 2012, a dairy cow in California tested positive for BSE. BSE is still a threat and has not been totally eradicated.
Is mad cow disease life threatening?
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease) is a progressive, untreatable neurologic degeneration that uniformly results in death of the infected animal after an extended period of convalescence. In other words, BSE will eventually kill the animal, but it will take years. A similar progression occurs in humans that have become infected by the BSE prion through consumption of contaminated beef products, although the name of the disease is variant Creutzfeld-Jacob's disease (vCJD).
