    Since the EU implemented active surveillance of mad cow disease in 2001, people have discovered a new type of mad cow disease that is different from the typical mad cow disease, that is, atypical mad cow disease
    .
    Later, atypical mad cow disease was also found in Japan, Canada, the United States, and Brazil
    .
    At present, it is generally believed that this type of mad cow disease mostly occurs in elderly cattle, with clinical symptoms and some asymptomatic, with spontaneous and sporadic characteristics, and a low incidence of about one part per million to three parts per million
    .
     
    There is a difference between these two forms or strains: typical mad cow disease occurs through the consumption of contaminated feed
    .
    Although typical mad cow disease was identified as a major threat in the 1990s, its incidence has dropped significantly in the past few years due to the successful implementation of effective control measures, and the current risk is extremely low (nearly 0 cases)
    .
    Atypical mad cow disease refers to a form that occurs naturally and occasionally.
    It is believed to have a low incidence in all herds and can only be detected in elderly herds when intensive monitoring is carried out
    .
     
      At the beginning of the 21st century, the atypical prion that caused atypical mad cow disease was discovered due to strengthened surveillance of infectious spongiform encephalopathy
    .
    The number of cases of atypical mad cow disease is negligible
