Description 定义
The emergence of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE or "Mad Cow
Disease") in cattle in the UK prompted a search for similar
diseases in other species. A similar disease (FSE) was discovered
in cats. Like BSE and other scrapie-like infections (scrapie
affects sheep) the disease can take many years to develop .
牛出现了疯牛症之后,迅速寻找其他物种有像似的疾病。猫身上发现有一种像似的疾病(FSE猫海绵状脑病)。像疯牛病一样,也像痒病一样,此病可以发展很多年。
Cause
病原
The cause of FSE is an infectious agent called a prion, and prion
protein accumulates in the brain tissue as a substance called
amyloid. It is probable - though not proven - that affected cats
contract the disease by eating contaminated bovine meat.
FSE的病原是一种感染性蛋白,这种感染性蛋白像淀粉质一样在脑组织积累。这有可能是因为猫吃了带有病的牛肉引起的,但是没有足够证据证明。
Breed
Occurrence
There is no breed predisposition. The disease appears in adult cats
with most appearing at about 5 years of
age.
Signs 症状
The signs of FSE progress over a long period (months to years), depend upon the site of brain involvement, and include :
- Behavioural changes
- An abnormal gait
- Death
这种病可发展很多年,主要看脑袋里面那个区域受累,包括:
动作改变
异常步态
死亡
Complications 并发症
The disease needs to be differentiated from other causes of brain
disease which may respond to treatment
这种病应该与其他可以zl的脑病区分开。
Diagnosis
Unfortunately a specific diagnosis can only be confirmed at
post-mortem. 不幸的是只能通过事后尸检进行特异性诊断。Suspicious cases based upon
clinical signs should always be submitted for examination.
怀疑的病例主要通过临床症状,并且应该做一些检查
Typical pathological changes include :
典型的病理检查包括:
- Bilaterally symmetrical vacuolation of the neuropil 神经纤维网两侧对称性的空泡化
- Vacuolation in neurones 神经元空泡病变
These lesions are most often found in the following areas of the
brain
通常好发于脑中的以下部位:
- Basal ganglia 基低核
- Cerebral cortex 大脑皮层
- Thalamus 丘脑
Treatment

There is no specific treatment for the disease and it is a terminal
