Strange Statements Regarding Mad Cow In Canada From Patricia Doyle, PhD 3-6-11
Hello, Jeff - What kind of ProMed comment is this?? The moderator estimates the mad cow's age at 6 and a half years and ponders if 'feed contamination' caused the disease.
My math tells me the ruminants in feed ban took place in 1997 or there about. 1997 is far more than 6 and a half years ago.
Promed's best and brightest then goes on to ponder that maybe it is not a prion but a "virus". Huh?
Also note 'Manitoba' in the title. It is not Manitoba but Alberta. This is all very strange for Promed.

"A 77-month-old cow is a about 6.5 years old. So a couple of questions come to mind: Is this from a feed contamination issue? Or is this agent really a prion? Could it be a virus?
These are intended as thought provoking questions. These questions are not tossed out to receive answers as there are a host of research papers, as well as opinions, but rather they are tossed out as rhetorical questions. - Moderator TG"

Date: 4 Mar 2011 Source: Reuters (edited) Alberta Dairy Cow Found To Have Mad Cow Disease
Canadian government officials have found a dairy cow in Alberta with mad cow disease, but the finding is not surprising and shouldn't affect beef exports, a spokesman for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said on Friday [4 Mar 2011]. The agency confirmed the case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE as the disease is also known, on 18 Feb 2011 in a 77-month-old dairy cow, spokesman Guy Gravelle said.
In 2003, the 1st discovery of a cow in Canada with the disease led to closures of numerous export markets to Canadian beef. Most have reopened, other than South Korea and China, and importers are no longer as sensitive to new cases as countries such as Canada now have monitoring systems in place.
Canada continues to be rated a "controlled risk" for the disease by the World Organization for Animal Health, Gravelle said. The newest case may delay any upgrade to Canada's international risk status as a country cannot apply for negligible status sooner than 11 years after the latest-born case.
The cow has been destroyed and no part of its carcass entered the human food or animal feed systems, Gravelle said.
The case, which is believed to be Canada's 18th, should not affect exports of Canadian cattle or beef, he said, as a small number of BSE cases are expected as Canada monitors for the disease.

======================================================================
I find your attack on ProMed et al strange, if not rude. this is my personal opinion.
for one thing, regardless whether or not you believe in the prion or the virus theory, or both, MY MATH shows me that the _partial_ and _voluntary_ August 4, 1997 mad cow feed ban by the FDA here in the USA you commented on, you and i both know that this was nothing but ink on paper, that in fact, as late as 2007 (one decade post partial and voluntary mad cow feed ban), in one week, via just two recalls, there was 10,000,000 million pounds of banned mad cow feed still going into commerce. and that was just the tip of the ice berg. prion, virus, whatever, you cannot dispute the fact that feed was the cause of over 300,000 bse dead cattle in the UK, due to the feed. the drastic reductions in numbers of BSE there after the feed ban proved this, as well with transmission studies there after. further more, you know, as well as i do, that the virus vs prion debate is still ongoing. AS ProMed et al so kindly stated ;
"These are intended as thought provoking questions. These questions are not tossed out to receive answers as there are a host of research papers, as well as opinions, but rather they are tossed out as rhetorical questions. - Moderator TG"
SO again, in my opinion, besides your comments being rude, they did not make much sense to me, rather confusing, other than an unwarranted attack. or i missed something?
again, this just is my opinion, ProMed et al did not have in any way nothing to do with this. i just saw it today, and wanted to just give my 2 cents...

SO, let's take a look at the banned mad cow feed in commerce as late as 2007, 1 decade post August 4, 1997 partial and voluntary mad cow feed ban, shall we ;
HOW ABOUT THAT MAD COW FIRE WALL TOO ;
*** BANNED MAD COW FEED IN THE USA IN COMMERCE TONS AND TONS
THIS is just ONE month report, of TWO recalls of prohibited banned MBM, which is illegal, mixed with 85% blood meal, which is still legal, but yet we know the TSE/BSE agent will transmit blood. we have this l-BSE in North America that is much more virulent and there is much concern with blood issue and l-BSE as there is with nvCJD in humans. some are even starting to be concerned with sporadic CJD and blood, and there are studies showing transmission there as well. ... this is one month recall page, where 10 MILLION POUNDS OF BANNED MAD COW FEED WENT OUT INTO COMMERCE, TO BE FED OUT. very little of the product that reaches commerce is ever returned via recall, very, very little. this was 2007, TEN YEARS AFTER THE AUGUST 4, 1997, PARTIAL AND VOLUNTARY MAD COW FEED BAN IN THE USA, that was nothing but ink on paper. i have listed the tonnage of mad cow feed that was in ALABAMA in one of the links too, this is where the infamous g-h-BSEalabama case was, a genetic relation matching the new sporadic CJD in the USA. seems this saga just keeps getting better and better.......$$$

Molecular characterization of BSE in Canada
Jianmin Yang1, Sandor Dudas2, Catherine Graham2, Markus Czub3, Tim McAllister1, Stefanie Czub1 1Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Canada; 2National and OIE BSE Reference Laboratory, Canada; 3University of Calgary, Canada
Background: Three BSE types (classical and two atypical) have been identified on the basis of molecular characteristics of the misfolded protein associated with the disease. To date, each of these three types have been detected in Canadian cattle.
Objectives: This study was conducted to further characterize the 16 Canadian BSE cases based on the biochemical properties of there associated PrPres. Methods: Immuno-reactivity, molecular weight, glycoform profiles and relative proteinase K sensitivity of the PrPres from each of the 16 confirmed Canadian BSE cases was determined using modified Western blot analysis.
Results: Fourteen of the 16 Canadian BSE cases were C type, 1 was H type and 1 was L type. The Canadian H and L-type BSE cases exhibited size shifts and changes in glycosylation similar to other atypical BSE cases. PK digestion under mild and stringent conditions revealed a reduced protease resistance of the atypical cases compared to the C-type cases. N terminal- specific antibodies bound to PrPres from H type but not from C or L type. The C-terminal-specific antibodies resulted in a shift in the glycoform profile and detected a fourth band in the Canadian H-type BSE.
Discussion: The C, L and H type BSE cases in Canada exhibit molecular characteristics similar to those described for classical and atypical BSE cases from Europe and Japan. This supports the theory that the importation of BSE contaminated feedstuff is the source of C-type BSE in Canada.
*** It also suggests a similar cause or source for atypical BSE in these countries.

Unacceptable risk: When the potential harm either to animal or humans from a feed product attains a level not acceptable to decision-makers. The level may vary depending on the type of harm.

Patricia Doyle, PhD, and Jeff Rinse et al ;
it is, what it is, prion vs virus vs whatever ? that is exactly how ProMed et al stated it, and again, the mad cow feed ban, was what it was, non existent through 2007.
what i find really strange and sad here is, Patricia A. Doyle DVM, PhD rude comments, via Jeff Rense, about ProMed et al endless efforts to track down these deadly pathogens around the globe.
I applaud ProMed et al for their efforts.
This is all very strange for Patricia Doyle, PhD, and Jeff Rense et al. ...
kindest regards, terry
