联合王国在非食物链牛中检测到“疯牛病”, UK detects case of "mad cow disease" in a non-food chain cow, surveillance system deemed effective.

在埃塞克斯的一头牛中发现了一种非典型的Bovine海绵状脑病(BSE),即“疯牛病”。 A case of atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or "mad cow disease," was identified in a cow in Essex. 非传染性疾病自发发生,对公共卫生或食品安全没有风险,因为牛不是用于食物链的。 The non-contagious disease occurs spontaneously and poses no risk to public health or food safety since the cow was not intended for the food chain. 首席兽医官Christine Middlemiss认为,联合王国检测和控制该疾病的监测系统是有效的。 The UK's surveillance system, which detected and contained the disease, is deemed effective by the Chief Veterinary Officer, Christine Middlemiss.
