BSE is not a bacteria, virus nor parasite. Studies have assumed that BSE originated from a cow or other ruminant got the disease from a genetic mutation. The exact location, classification and origin of this disease is not well known among the scientific community, as many disagreements and controversies have arised from studies of this fatal condition.
