  • We don'tknow untill today the true cause of bovine spongy encephalitis (BSE), althought the origin maybe the prion, a proteine which is previous to virus in the evolutive scale. BSE in cows, scrapiein sheeps, and Creutzfeldt-Jacob in men, are practically the same disease, and the form of feeding of cows, including crushed animal viscera, specially of sheeps, maybe the origin of BSE. Dr. Narang adviced to the U.K. Government, sorne years ago, about the risk of BSE for cattle industry and for the human population, but the answer was persecution and sabotage, and clismiss too. The author thinks that genetic engineering in cattle industry has something to do with BSE. He recommends also sorne hygienic rules to prevent BSE, including those which are connected with milk, because milk might be an infection vehicle; other rules are relative to cosmetics, serums and vaccines, gelatines, meat, hamburgers. processed cold meat, and víscera.
