What is mad cow disease is there mad pig disease and stuff to?

There is not a mad pig disease (yet anyway) Mad cow disease is a brain disease of cows caused by prions. There is a similar disease of sheep called scrapie and a disease in humans called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. They are all fatal

Mad cow disease is a prion disease. A defective protein makes normal cell proteins into prions and slowly turns brain cell into spongy looking masses. This is a contagious disease, occuring when a peron is eating meat from a cow, infected with a mad cow disease. There were incidents in tanzania, with cannibalism, called kuru-kuru, there is a hereditary counterpart of this also, called CJD, but it is extremely rare.If I am not mistaken, the disease became especially widespread, when animals were fed with remains of animals with prions int heir organisms (i know it is gross!!).
Anyway, that's about it. There is a very expensive and very hard to find book about all this, that I had to import from England. I gave you the condensed version of it.
