halopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC) announced the disease, which has affected ten patients in 1994 or 1995. There are several differences from classical CJD and variant CJD. The patients were much younger compared to the individuals infected with the classical form of CJD. The average for CJD is sixty-three while vCJD is twenty-eight.The course duration of vCJD is around thirteen months, but CJD is only six months.Electroencephalographic (EEG), which is electrical activity in the brain, was reported with vCJD, but not with CJD.Through studies SEAC have found that vCJD has the same signature as BSE, which suspects that BSE and vCJD are in some way associated. The study was with four panels of mice, one with crossbred mice and the other three with inbred mice. The mice that were infected with BSE showed the same signs of illness as the vCJD infected mice. Mice with just classical CJD did not show these signs (BSE and CJD - Human).History From 1985 – Current TimeFor the last several years the Mad Cow Disease has infected thousands uponpawn millions of European livestock. The first sign of the disease began in the UK in 1985 when 133 cows died after suffering brain damage, weight loss, and addition abnormalities. Following after the first known case was the final recognition of the disease in 1986. In 1990 the United Kingdom formulated the National CJD Surveillance Unit to investigate cases, and try to find a correlation between the disease (Associated Press 2). When the United Kingdom began the surveillance unit, fear arose an overwhelming concern throughout Europe. BSE reached its worst form in 1992 – 1993, with 100,000 confirmed cows infected with Mad Cow Disease. The first known human victim died two years later in 1995. This was the first case documented of vCJD. Followed by three more people dying in the UK in that same year. After the first known human deaths from the disease, many people started asking question...
