WOAH reported bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion, atypical strain, H-type in Cornwall, England, in a 17 year-old indigenous cow on a beef suckler farm, detected during routine national TSE statutory surveillance and testing of fallen stock cattle aged over 48 months. The animal was not presented for slaughter and did not enter the food chain, there is no threat to food safety or human health. The detection of this isolated, single case of atypical BSE does not change the UK’s BSE disease risk status.

WOAH reported bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prion, atypical strain, H-type in Marabá in a A 9-year-old bull presenting neurological clinical signs since 18/01/2023. This is the sixth case of atypical H-type BSE registered in Brazil in more than 25 years of surveillance for the disease. Brazil has never diagnosed a classical BSE case, maintaining, since 2012, official recognition by the WOAH as a country of negligible risk for the disease.
