(ANSA) – RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 04 – Two atypical cases of mad cow disease have been detected in Brazil, leading to the suspension of beef exports to China. This was announced yesterday evening by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture.
This is a measure taken as part of an existing bilateral protocol between the two countries, although the directorate stressed that “there is no danger to human or animal health.” A ministerial statement explained that the two cases are “atypical” because the disease appeared “spontaneously and intermittently and is not related to eating contaminated food.”
Two cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Bse) were identified during health inspections in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso on aged cows, according to the Brazilian Ministry. “Brazil has never recorded a classic case of mad cow disease,” said the ministry, which officially notified the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
BSE first appeared in the United Kingdom in the 1980s and spread to many countries in Europe and around the world, causing concern among consumers and causing a major crisis in the beef sector. The disease was spread widely by farm owners who fed their livestock with meat and bone meal of dead and infected animals. People died after being infected with the human variant, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is believed to be transmitted by eating infected meat. (Dealing).

"Mwezi Septemba, Brazil iligundua kesi mbili za ""mad cow disease"" na kusababisha kusimamishwa kwa mauzo ya nyama ya ng'ombe kwenda China." Taarifa hiyo ilitolewa jana jioni na Wizara ya Kilimo ya Brazil. "Hii ni hatua iliyochukuliwa kama sehemu ya itifaki ya nchi mbili zilizopo, ingawa idara hiyo ilisisitiza kwamba ""hakuna hatari kwa afya ya binadamu au wanyama"" Taarifa ya wizara ilielezea kwamba kesi hizo mbili ni ""atypical"" kwa sababu ugonjwa huo ulionekana ""kwa ghafla na kwa vipindi na hauhusiani na kula chakula cha uchafuzi"" Kesi mbili za encephalopathy ya spongiform ya ng'ombe (Bse) zilitambuliwa wakati wa ukaguzi wa afya katika majimbo ya Minas Gerais na Mato Grosso." "Brazil haijawahi kurekodi kesi ya kawaida ya ugonjwa wa ng'ombe wazimu", alisema wizara, ambayo iliripoti rasmi Shirika la Dunia la Afya ya Wanyama (OIE). BSE ilitokea kwa mara ya kwanza nchini Uingereza katika miaka ya 1980 na kuenea katika nchi nyingi za Ulaya na duniani kote, na kusababisha wasiwasi miongoni mwa watumiaji na kusababisha mgogoro mkubwa katika sekta ya nyama ya ng'ombe. Ugonjwa huo ulienea sana kwa sababu wamiliki wa mashamba waliwalisha mifugo yao nyama na mifupa ya wanyama waliokufa na walioambukizwa. Watu wengi walifariki kutokana na ugonjwa wa Creutzfeldt-Jakob ambao unapatikana kwa kula nyama iliyoambukizwa. (Kushughulika). Reproduction ni zimehifadhiwa © Copyright ANSA <unk>Reader.
