New BSE case in Scotland
19 October 2018 | Technical news (commented)
A new case of BSE or mad cow disease has been confirmed in Scotland, the first in the UK since 2015.
One of the central questions in the disease investigation will be whether it is a 'typical' or 'atypical' case as distinguished by 'Western Blot' testing. This will inform the search for the source of infection.
The TAFS Forum has been instrumental in solving the BSE crisis in Europe and will follow the situation closely. More information about BSE on our website https://tafsforum.org/tse.html
