| spongiform encephalopathies | A group of diseases characterised by long incubation and fatal progressive course with characteristic spongiform degeneration of grey matter of the cortex. The two main human diseases are kuru and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. Diseases such as scrapie, mink encephalopathy and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) are considered to be similar. Controversy still surround the causative agent, the two main theories being slow viruses or prions. See: Gerstmann Straussler Scheinker syndrome. (18 Nov 1997) |

| bovine spongiform encephalitis | <pathology> A neuro-degenerative disease found in domestic cattle which is related to a number of other similar diseases found in other animal species, including humans. The most well-known of these other diseases are scrapie, found in sheep, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, found in humans. The family of diseases is caused by an abnormally-configured protein called a prion. The function of the protein in its normal configuration is not certain. The diseases are similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans, except the progressive loss of brain function is more rapid. (09 Oct 1997) |

| bovine spongiform encephalopathy | A new disease of cattle, first reported in 1986 in Great Britain, characterised clinically by apprehensive behaviour, hyperesthesia, and ataxia and histopathologically by spongiform changes in the gray-matter neuropil of the brain stem; it is thought to be caused by an agent, possibly a prion, similar to that observed as the cause of scrapie. Synonym: mad cow disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spongiform | 1. Soft, and full of cavities; of an open, loose, pliable texture; as, a spongy excrescence; spongy earth; spongy cake; spongy bones. 2. Wet; drenched; soaked and soft, like sponge; rainy. "Spongy April." 3. Having the quality of imbibing fluids, like a sponge. <chemistry> Spongy lead, sponge lead. See Sponge. Spongy platinum. See Platinum. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| spongiform encephalopathy | An encephalopathy characterised by vacuolation within nerve and glial cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subacute spongiform encephalopathy | A form of spongiform encephalopathy that is associated with a "slow virus", which to date has not been adequately described, is transmissible, and has a rapidly progressive, fatal course; e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome, scrapie. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalopathy, bovine spongiform | Scrapie-like neurological disorder of cattle. The infection appears to be caused by the consumption of scrapie-infected ruminant-derived protein (prions). (12 Dec 1998) |
