BSE

noun

/ˌbiː es ˈiː/

(also informal mad cow disease)

[uncountable]

a brain disease of cows that causes death (the abbreviation for ‘bovine spongiform encephalopathy’) 牛海绵状脑病，疯牛病（全写为 bovine spongiform encephalopathy，导致牛死亡的脑病）
CultureIn the 1980s many British cows were found to have the disease, and thousands of them were destroyed. Scientists believe it was caused by feeding the cows with parts of sheep that had a similar disease (called scrapie). They also believe that if people eat the meat of cows with BSE they can catch another similar disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which causes death. For a time in the 1990s many people stopped eating British beef, and many countries refused to import it.
