Soon after the recognition of a new, fatal disease in UK cattle,it was realised that the disorder was one of a very unusual group of neurodegenerative diseases, the spongiform encephalopathies, which affect both humans and animals- for example, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in humans and scrapie in sheep.The new disease was therefore dubbed Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). This volume of the Inquiry deals with the known science of BSE. Chapter two is an account of the scientific knowledge on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) that existed in 1986, the point at which BSE was distinguished as a new disease. Chapter three discusses the evolution of knowledge and understanding of BSE based on the research initiated in response to it. This volume explores the evidence of a link between BSE and the appearance of a new variant of CJD in young people. The development of tests to diagnose TSEs is described in chapter five. The next section sets out how the Government commissioned and funded research, and sets out the system for doing this in the context of the annual public expenditure plan. The final section contains a discussion on the conclusions that can be drawn about the scientific investigation of BSE. The shortcomings of the BSE research programme, identified with hindsight, are also discussed.
