"Mаd Cоw" diseаse is аn extremely rare neurоlоgical disorder that affects the central nervous system of the animal.  Several human diseases - kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome- fall into the same category of spongiform encephalopathies.  These diseases are possibly transmitted by a relatively new kind of suspected infectious agent called a prion.  This infectious agent seems to be unique and is very difficult for biologists to understand.
