Food & Agriculture | A disease apparently restricted to Friesian-Holstein cattle, involving the central nervous system and characterized by behavioural changes and impaired gait. The cause is unknown and the disease was unrecorded prior to scattered outbreaks in the UK in 1987. The affected animals show increasing nervousness and hesitancy, clumsy gait, particularly affecting the hind legs, and intermittent trotting. Collapse and death invariably follow.
