US officials have confirmed the country has discovered its first case of BSE. British scientists found the disease in tissue flown in from a dairy cow from the north-western state of Washington.
The animal is believed to have contracted BSE, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, after eating contaminated feed.
The UK veterinary pathologists concur with our interpretation of the December 22 positive test conducted by USDA pathologists at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa," the department said in a statement posted on its Web site.
