''THE LINE TO TAKE'' ON IBNC $$$ 1995 $$$



1995


page 9 of 14 ;


30. The Committee noted that the results were unusual. the questioned
whether there could be coincidental BSE infection or contamination with
scrapie. Dr. Tyrell noted that the feeling of the committee was that this
did not represent a new agent but it was important to be prepared to say
something publicly about these findings. A suggested line to take was that
these were scientifically unpublishable results but in line with the policy
of openness they would be made publicly available and further work done to
test their validity. Since the BSE precautions were applied to IBNC cases,
human health was protected. Further investigations should be carried out on
isolations from brains of IBNC cases with removal of the brain and
subsequent handling under strict conditions to avoid the risk of any
contamination.


31. Mr. Bradley informed the Committee that the CVO had informed the CMO
about the IBNC results and the transmission from retina and he, like the
Committee was satisfied that the controls already in place or proposed were
adequate. ...

2009 31 March 2009 - A summary of the 102nd SEAC meeting (35 KB) held on
4th March 2009

SEAC noted that IBNC appeared to be a rare disease that occurred in older
cattle, predominantly as single cases, although it is possible that
surveillance may not detect all cases. Biochemical studies suggested that
the prion protein may play a role in the disease. However, it is unclear
whether the normal form of the protein or an abnormal form is involved.
Studies are required to determine whether IBNC is transmissible or not. SEAC
concluded, noting that specified risk material controls are in place to
prevent cattle brain from entering the food supply, that current data on
IBNC do not suggest it presents a risk to human health.
