Best Answer

Mad cow disease is known scientifically as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE for short. The disease was first identified in the United Kingdom and spread to many countries in Europe before it was understood. However, since the mid-1990s, most countries have instituted preventive measures to stop the spread of BSE and cases of BSE are now quite rare. I would expect within the next 10 years or so for the world to be declared free of BSE, and the incidence of BSE in Europe today (2011) is very low.
