GERMANY DETECTS A CASE OF ATYPICAL BSE Jan 17, 2014

 
 

“Mad Cow Disease” Crops Up in German Beef Cattle Jan 17, 2014 | Katharina Schwan | Outbreak News -
 
 
For the first time since 2007, a case of atypical Bovine spongiform Encephalitis (BSE) was identified in a beef cow in the German state of Brandenburg. The Brandenburg Ministry of Health released a report stating that the cow had not shown symptoms of the disease and thus had been slaughtered to prepare the meat for consumption. However, since the animal was more than 10 years old, it underwent an obligatory BSE-test, which came back positive.
 
“This [atypical] form occurs rarely, and differentiates from classical BSE by developing spontaneously and only in older animals,” explains veterinarian Klaus Reimer. HealthMap reported on a similar case in 2012, when a case of atypical BSE was found in a dairy cow in California.
 
The slaughtered animal was discarded according to the proper regulations and the slaughterhouse has been disinfected. Although it is unlikely that BSE can be transmitted through animal-to-animal contact, the herd from which the affected animal came is currently under quarantine and the necessary epidemiological investigations are underway.
 
To reduce the risk of BSE transmission to humans, Germany has strict regulations in place on how to handle slaughtered beef. Animal by-products that are not fit for human consumption, such as the bowel, the skull and the spine, have to be removed and discarded properly. All beef cows eight years and older undergo a BSE “rapid test” that quickly screens cattle for BSE. “Due to these protective measures, no health risk exists for consumers,” said a spokesperson for the German Federal Department of Agriculture.
 
BSE is a progressive, often fatal, neurological disease in cattle that develops due to infection by a prion. Prions are not well understood, yet the CDC explains that the most widely accepted theory is that prions are modified proteins, or prion proteins, that can damage the central nervous system of cattle. Researchers believe the disease may have originated in animals that were fed animal by-products infected with BSE. A similar disease exists in humans known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).
 
Since BSE develops over long periods of time, cattle may not show any signs of infection for several years. With time, symptoms may include nervous or aggressive behavior, abnormal posture, lack of coordination, decreased milk production and weight loss. BSE is not contagious and cannot be transmitted between animals, nor can the disease be spread through dairy products.
 
 
 
 
13.01.2014BSE: Erste Kontakttiere ermittelt Potsdam – Im Zusammenhang mit der bei einem Rind im Landkreis Oder-Spree festgestellten atypischen BSE (Bovine Spongiforme Encephalopathie) konnten jetzt erste Kontakttiere ermittelt werden. „Nach ersten Ermittlungen konnten bisher sieben Nachkommen ermittelt werden, von denen sich noch zwei Tiere im Bestand befinden“, so Landestierarzt Dr. Klaus Reimer. Er verweist darauf, dass die Nachforschungen zur sogenannten Geburtskohorte intensiv weitergeführt werden.
 
Bisher haben die epidemiologischen Ermittlungen ergeben, dass das betroffene Tier insgesamt 7 Nachkommen hatte, von denen derzeit noch 2 Tiere leben. Die Ermittlung der Geburtskohorte gestaltet sich schwieriger und dauert derzeit noch an. Dazu müssen die Bestandsbücher des Betriebes und die Datenbank des Herkunftssicherungs- und Informationssystems Tiere (HIT), insbesondere für den zurückliegenden geburtsnahen Zeitraum (1 Jahr vor und 1 Jahr nach der Geburt des betroffenen Tieres), analysiert werden. Auf jeden Fall wird sichergestellt, dass die ermittelten Nachkommen und die Tiere der Geburtskohorte nicht in den Nahrungskreislauf gelangen.
 
Die festgestellte atypische BSE ist im Rahmen der routinemäßigen Schlachtuntersuchung im Schlachthof festgestellt worden und ein Zeichen dafür, dass das System der vorbeugenden und vorsorglichen Kontrolle in Bezug auf BSE funktioniert. Reimer geht davon aus, dass es sich bei der festgestellten Erkrankung um einen Einzelfall handelt. „Wir führen jährlich etwa 8000 bis 10.000 BSE-Schnelltests bei Schlachttieren durch. Von 2007 bis 2013 gab es keinen positiven Befund“, so der Landstierarzt.
 
Bis zum Abschluss der epidemiologischen Ermittlungen bleibt die Herde gesperrt. Der Landkreis hat alle notwendigen Maßnahmen ergriffen und wird durch die Task Force des Landes unterstützt.

P04.40 A Case Study of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Germany
 
Lewis, R; Krewski, D; Tyshenko, MG. University of Ottawa, McLaughlin Centre, Canada
 
Despite the emergence of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) throughout Europe, Germany considered itself an oasis that was free of the disease. However, on November 26, 2000 the first domestic case of BSE appeared in the country and public concerns over food and health safety ensued. Germany traditionally is known for its large agriculture and farming sectors with health and environmentally conscientious citizens. The occurrence of BSE within the country borders had dramatic economic and social effects. The response of Germany’s public and politicians far surpassed that of most other countries affected by the disease. In Germany the reaction to BSE and perception of risk was even more intense than that of the United Kingdom, which to date is still the region that has been most affected by BSE and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Response to BSE was rapid with new policies and high percentage testing of cattle implemented within months. To date, Germany has not had a single case of vCJD.
 
 
 
MISSING the bigger picture i.e. sporadic CJD and BSE/BASE, both of which have been related to the sporadic CJD as well, BOTH of which increased in numbers, and decreased, at or about the same time period of the increase and decrease of BSE cases (BASE however, seems to be increasing). ...tss

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder with a worldwide incidence of 1–1.5 per million. As in other countries, a CJD surveillance unit with a clinical and neuropathological approach was established in Goettingen (Germany) in 1993. Here we report the epidemiological data from a prospective 12-year surveillance. Since 1993, there has been an increasing incidence of CJD, from 0.7 in 1993 to 1.6 in 2005 with a quite stable level since 1998. During this period, the proportion of patients with MV and VV codon 129 genotype rose, possibly because of better identification of atypical subtypes. Six percent of all patients had a PRNP mutation, mainly D178N-129M (FFI), E200K and V210I. Iatrogenic CJD was a rare phenomenon. No patient infected by cadaveric growth hormone extracts was reported. Furthermore, no variant CJD patient has yet been identified in Germany. Differential diagnoses revealed a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, with Alzheimer's disease in the lead. One-third of the non-CJD patients included in this study suffered from a potentially treatable disorder such as metabolic or inflammatory diseases. The incidence and mortality rates in Germany are similar to those in other European countries. In contrast, however, acquired forms, such as iatrogenic and variant CJD are still rare in Germany or have not yet been identified.

Abstract Intensive active surveillance has uncovered two atypical German BSE cases in older cattle which resemble the two different atypical BSE phenotypes that have recently been described in France (designated H-type) and Italy (designated L-type or BASE). The H-type is characterized by a significantly higher molecular size, but a conventional glycopattern of the proteinase K treated abnormal prion protein (PrPSc), while the L-type PrPSc has only a slightly lower molecular size and a distinctly different glycopattern. In this paper we describe the successful transmission of both German atypical BSE cases to transgenic mice overexpressing bovine PrPC. Upon challenge with the L-type, these mice developed BSE after a substantially shorter incubation period than any classical BSE transmission using these mice to date. In contrast, the incubation period was distinctly prolonged when these mice were challenged with the H-type. PrPSc accumulated in the brains of these mice were of the same atypical BSE type that had been used for the transmission. These atypical cases suggest the possible existence of sporadic BSE cases in bovines. It is thus feasible that the BSE epidemic in the UK could have also been initiated by an intraspecies transmission from a sporadic BSE case.

Released: Feb 1 2007 Germany | BSE in Germany - Update Covering 2006 GM7004 Highlight: In 2006, 16 cases of BSE were confirmed in Germany, compared to 32 in 2005. This brings the total number of BSE cases to 405, since it was first detected in Germany in November 2000. In June 2006, Germany abolished its stricter BSE testing requirements and replaced it with the standard EU testing regime. Beef consumption is still below the pre-BSE level, primarily because of healthier consumer eating habits rather than fears of BSE.

In your letter, you accurately state that I am being pressed to take political decisions in this area. This is due to the fact that, in the opinion of experts, BSE may also pose a risk to humans, although the extent of this risk and the conclusions to be drawn are a matter of contention.
 
Great political pressure has built up here in Germany and I have to take account of it. This pressure comes from the field of scientific debate and the media, but above all from Bundestag and the Bundescrat, which has a strong position in the legislative process in Germany. ...94/06.16/11.1

> Germany is not so small and about 140,000 dollars for this 5000 tests are peanuts even for Nordrhein-Westfalen which is only a relatively small part of Germany. This are less than 28 dollar for each animal or a few cent per steak. This is essentially nothing and of course much less than the decrease of the prize for cattle as a consequence of the erosion of trust. I am sure we agree that the costs are not the reason for the test stop in NRW or the refusal to test in other countries. The real reason not to test for BSE is of cause the fear to find something.
 
The 5029 Prionics tests in NRW are not comparable with the 7749 tests in the USA, because the Prionics test is much faster and cheaper.

FURTHER DISCUSSION on BSE-L about BSE risk in Germany (these are old discussions). ...TSS
 
 
 
Atypical scrapie cases in Germany and France are identified by discrepant reaction patterns in BSE rapid tests.Buschmann A, Biacabe AG, Ziegler U, Bencsik A, Madec JY, Erhardt G, Lühken G, Baron T, Groschup MH. Federal Research Centre for Virus Diseases of Animals, Institute for Novel and Emerging Infectious Diseases, Boddenblick 5a, 17493 Greifswald-Insel Riems, Germany.
 
The intensified surveillance of scrapie in small ruminants in the European Union (EU) has resulted in a substantial increase of the number of diagnosed cases. Four rapid tests which have passed the EU evaluation for BSE testing of cattle are also recommended currently and used for the testing of small ruminants by the EU authorities. These tests include an indirect ELISA (cELISA), a colorimetric sandwich ELISA (sELISA I), a chemiluminescent sandwich ELISA (sELISA II), and a Western blot (WB). To this point, the majority of samples have been screened by using either sELISA I (predominantly in Germany) or WB (predominantly in France). In this study, it is shown that a number of the German and French scrapie cases show inconsistent results using rapid and confirmatory test methods. Forty-eight German sheep, 209 French sheep and 19 French goat transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) cases were tested. All cases were recognised by the sELISA I and either one of the confirmatory methods (scrapie-associated fibrils (SAF)-immunoblot or immunohistochemistry). Surprisingly, three rapid tests failed to detect a significant number of scrapie cases (29 in France and 24 in Germany). The possible reasons for these inconsistent reaction patterns of scrapie cases are discussed. Similar discrepancies have not been observed during rapid testing of cattle for BSE, the disease for which all diagnostic methods applied have been evaluated.

P03.141 Aspects of the Cerebellar Neuropathology in Nor98
 
Gavier-Widén, D1; Benestad, SL2; Ottander, L1; Westergren, E1 1National Veterinary Insitute, Sweden; 2National Veterinary Institute,
 
Norway Nor98 is a prion disease of old sheep and goats. This atypical form of scrapie was first described in Norway in 1998. Several features of Nor98 were shown to be different from classical scrapie including the distribution of disease associated prion protein (PrPd) accumulation in the brain. The cerebellum is generally the most affected brain area in Nor98. The study here presented aimed at adding information on the neuropathology in the cerebellum of Nor98 naturally affected sheep of various genotypes in Sweden and Norway. A panel of histochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings such as IHC for PrPd, synaptophysin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, amyloid, and cell markers for phagocytic cells were conducted. The type of histological lesions and tissue reactions were evaluated. The types of PrPd deposition were characterized. The cerebellar cortex was regularly affected, even though there was a variation in the severity of the lesions from case to case. Neuropil vacuolation was more marked in the molecular layer, but affected also the granular cell layer. There was a loss of granule cells. Punctate deposition of PrPd was characteristic. It was morphologically and in distribution identical with that of synaptophysin, suggesting that PrPd accumulates in the synaptic structures. PrPd was also observed in the granule cell layer and in the white matter. The pathology features of Nor98 in the cerebellum of the affected sheep showed similarities with those of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans.

However, a BSE expert said that consumption of infected material is the only known way that cattle get the disease under natural conditons.
 
 
*** “In view of what we know about BSE after almost 20 years experience, contaminated feed has been the source of the epidemic,” said Paul Brown, a scientist retired from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke. BSE is not caused by a microbe. It is caused by the misfolding of the so-called “prion protein” that is a normal constituent of brain and other tissues. If a diseased version of the protein enters the brain somehow, it can slowly cause all the normal versions to become misfolded. It is possible the disease could arise spontaneously, though such an event has never been recorded, Brown said.
 
 
 
 
*** What irks many scientists is the USDA’s April 25 statement that the rare disease is “not generally associated with an animal consuming infected feed.” The USDA’s conclusion is a “gross oversimplification,” said Dr. Paul Brown, one of the world’s experts on this type of disease who retired recently from the National Institutes of Health. "(The agency) has no foundation on which to base that statement.”
