There are two types of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the scientific name for mad cow disease). The first is what the general media picks up on when BSE is mentioned - the infectious prion identified in the 1980s and 1990s that is linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakobs Disease in humans. However, this form has been almost entirely eradicated in the world. The second is what the last three cases of BSE in the United States have been - atypical or spontaneous BSE. This is where the normal protein in the brain misfolds on its own and causes a chain reaction.
