Mad Cow Disease is a brain disease of cattle, which was first identified in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s. Although
not as widespread as some other livestock diseases, such as hoof-and mouth-disease, the Mad Cow Disease has attracted a lot of publicity because of its apparent apparent ability to transmit to humans, the fact that there is no known cure for the disease and the horrifying nature of the brain decay it causes. This paper explains the cause of the disease, how it affects the organisms, how it is
transmitted from one organism to another, and the ways in which it could be transmitted to humans. The paper also discusses the human
equivalents of the disease. Paper Outline: Cause of the Disease How the Disease Affects the Organism How is the Disease Transmitted from one Organism to Another The Ways in Which it Could be Transmitted from Cows to Humans Human Equivalents of the Disease Works Cited
