Both diseases are caused by a prion (infectious misfolded protein) that affect the Central Nervous System (the brain and spinal cord). The incubation period of this prion is drawn out over a period of 10 years, and the end result of this disease leads to dysfunction of the CNS causing irregular mobility, attitude changes and eventually death. BSE (the proper term for "Mad Cow Disease") and CWD are neither incurable nor treatable.
