Mad cow disease found on northern Alberta farm: government officials EDMONTON, May 20, 2003 (The Canadian Press via COMTEX) -- The first Canadian case of mad cow disease in a decade was confirmed Tuesday, prompting the United States to temporarily ban beef imports from Canada. "As part of its ongoing surveillance program for BSE, Alberta agricultural officials tested an eight-year-old cow that had been condemned at slaughter and removed it from the food system," federal Agriculture Minister Lyle Vanclief said in a news conference at the Alberta legislature. "I want to stress from the beginning this is one cow." The previous case of BSE found in 1993 was a single cow imported from Great Britain to Red Deer, Alta., but the whole herd was destroyed along with other cattle determined to be at risk. Officials are still trying to determine if the cow was imported or home grown. U.S. Agriculture Minister Ann Veneman said in a statement that while it appears to be an isolated case and that information suggests the risk to human health and the transmission to animals in the U.S. is very low, a ban is needed. "USDA is placing Canada under its BSE restriction guidelines and will not accept any ruminants or ruminant products from Canada pending further investigation," said Veneman, adding that they are sending experts to Canada to assist in the investigation. Vanclief said the ban was expected: "They said they might be considering this but if they did then it was necessary that we put our officials together to get all of the information and the understanding on the table so if there was a temporary ban that it would be as short as possible." He stressed that they're still in the early stages of the investigation and said that all information has been released as soon as it became available. "Remember folks, this was just finally confirmed in the United Kingdom this morning. We have been hiding nothing. As soon as the information came to us and it was confirmed we are having this press conference and all of that activity has taken place in the last three hours." Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, is a chronic, degenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system of cattle. Since the disease was first diagnosed in Great Britain in 1986, there have been more than 180,000 cases. Alberta is Canada's largest beef producer and beef is the province's top agricultural export. "We take any threat to our livestock industry very seriously," said Alberta Agriculture Minister Shirley McClellan. "This is one cow in one herd in our province," she added. "The carcass did not enter the food chain." Preliminary tests performed at a provincial laboratory and at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's national centre for foreign animal disease in Winnipeg were unable to rule out BSE in the animal in question, Vanclief said. A world reference library in Pirbright, United Kingdom, confirmed Tuesday morning the presence of BSE in the cow, Vanclief said. The food inspection agency has now quarantined a northern Alberta farm as a result of the investigation into the single case and the herd will be slaughtered, as well as any additional herds found to be at risk. More than 100 people in Europe have died since 1995 from eating meat from cattle with BSE. It's believed cattle became infected with the disease when farmers added recycled meat and bone meal from infected cows into cattle feed. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the human form of mad cow disease. It kills brain cells and creates gaps in tissue to give the brain a sponge-like appearance. Victims first start to show memory loss, mood swings and lack of co-ordination. Then comes shakiness and dementia. Eventually, the disease leaves its victims paralysed and mute. It's believed humans can develop new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease when they eat meat from infected animals. Last summer, a Saskatchewan man died from vCJD after he reportedly ate contaminated beef in the United Kingdom.
