BSE situation in the world and annual incidence rate
This page is dedicated to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) situation in the world. It has been created in the eighties following the need for information on this disease expressed by OIE’s Delegates and other stakeholders and is updated as soon as new information on BSE is provided by Member Countries to the OIE. For OIE’s official status recognition of countries regarding this disease, please look at the bovine spongiform encephalopathy Status of Members page.
This heading contains information on changes in the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) situation worldwide.
Information is grouped in two categories:
- Information on the number of BSE cases reported in the United Kingdom and in the world (excluding the United Kingdom) in imported or indigenous cattle, and Countries/Territories that have reported BSE cases in imported animals only ;
- The second category provides information on annual incidence rate of BSE, by country, since 1989.
- Number of Cases reported: In the UK
- Worldwide (excluding UK)
- Cases in imported animals only
- Annual incidence rate
