Goveđa spongiformna encefalopatija

Goveđa spongiformna encefalopatija, poznata po engleskoj skraćenici BSE za Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) kao i po daleko popularnijem nazivu "bolest ludih krava" ili kravlje ludilo, je smrtonosna, neurodegenerativna bolest goveda, koja se širi infekcijom na način koji je iznenadio biologe koji su ga otkrili krajem 20. vijeka. Iako nikada nije ubijala stoku u razmjerima drugih stočnih bolesti, kao što su slinavka i goveđa kuga, BSE je izazvao veliku pažnju jer je izgledno da se može prenijeti na ljude; smatra se da je uzročnik varijante Creutzfeld-Jakobove bolesti (vCJD), nekad zvane nova varijanta Creutzfeldt-Jakobove bolesti (nvCJD), bolesti koja uništava ljudski mozak.
