Is mad cow disease in Europe?
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.
Can pot stop Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy?
No, marijuana has no effect on BSE transmission, infection or progression.
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.
What research has be done on mad cow disease?
There has been a phenomenal amount of research done on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease). When the disease was first identified, there were numerous studies to determine what caused the disease, how it was transmitted, what tissues in the cow were infected at what stages of the infection, how it can be controlled, etc. There is still some ongoing research focusing on an ante mortem (before death) test for BSE, although I believe the funding for this type of work is drying up due to the dramatic decrease in the number of cases of BSE around the world. In 2011, for instance, there were only 29 cases of BSE in the entire world.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is a food-borne illness also known as?
The popular name for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is mad cow disease. While this disease can be a food-borne illness, international food safety agencies have put regulations and laws in place to prevent the spread of BSE. Because of this, the number of human infections with BSE (called variant Creutsfeld-Jacob disease or vCJD) has been dropping every year throughout the world.

Currently your risk of getting variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (vCJD, the human result of infection with a BSE prion) is hovering around zero. Infectious BSE has been all but eradicated in the world; the recent cases of BSE have been atypical (non-infectious) variants that are expected to spontaneously occur in a few cattle in a normal cattle population.

How fast does mad cow spread?
That isn't really known, but if a lot of ruminants were fed a feed source that was contaminated with BSE prions, then it could spread very fast. But it really depends on what animal gets it and when it will show up.
