The cow was sent for slaughter on 16 Nov 2009 and the routine BSE test appeared positive on 17 Nov 2009. The cow originated from a herd of 116 cattle situated on the island AEro south of Funen. The cow was born in 1995 and was the oldest animal on the premises. The oldest animal present now was born in 2002, one year after the introduction of the total feed ban (see epidemiological comments).Outbreak statisticsSpecies: cattleApparent morbidity rate: 0.86 percentApparent mortality rate: 0.00 percentApparent case fatality rate: 0.00 percentProportion susceptible animals lost*: 0.86 percent* Removed from the susceptible population through death, destruction, and/or slaughterEpidemiologySource of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection: unknown or inconclusiveEpidemiological comments: the affected animal was born before the tightening of the feed ban in 1997 and 2001. In 1990, feeding ruminant MBM to ruminants was prohibited. In 1997, feeding mammalian MBM to ruminants was prohibited. On 1 Jan 2001, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration introduced a total ban on feeding processed animal protein (including meat and bone meal (MBM), fish meal, etc.) to animals that are kept, fattened, or bred for the production of food. Control measures will be conducted in accordance with European Union regulation no. 999/2001.Control measuresMeasures applied: quarantine; no vaccination; no treatment of affected animalsMeasures to be applied: modified stamping outDiagnostic test resultsLaboratory name and type: National Veterinary Institute (national laboratory)Species: cattleTest: western blottingTest date: 19 Nov 2009Result: positiveFuture reportingThe event is continuing. Weekly follow-up reports will be submitted.--Communicated by:ProMED-mail<promed@promedmail.org>[It is not surprising at all that an old dairy cow might occasionally be identified by surveillance as positive, even in countries which never had a case before. A smaller number of sporadic cases will likely continue to occur in countries as long as they have cattle that are older than the time that effective feed bans went into place.This year (2009) Canada had one case, Ireland 7, and Poland 4 cases, outside of the UK. In 2008, there were a greater number of cases with 88 outside the UK. These included Canada (4), France (8), Germany (2), Ireland (23), Italy (1), Japan (1), Netherlands (1), Poland (5), Portugal (18), and Spain (25).
