Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of diseases occurring in man and animals and are characterised by a degeneration of brain tissue giving a sponge-like appearance leading to death
Two Commission Communications to the European Parliament and the Council, called "TSE roadmaps" have been adopted to inform on revisions to the TSE control system envisaged by the Commission. Most of the short and medium term measures envisaged in these two roadmaps have already been adopted by the Commission.
For all aspects regarding TSEs and BSE, please refer to the information displayed below
For a list of establishments registered/authorised in accordance with Section A of Chapter V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, in the context of the feed ban, please visit the List of Establishments page.
Applications to be recognised a member State, or zones of a Member State, with a negligible risk of classical scrapie should be prepared in accordance with this Guideline document.
The feed ban is the basic preventive measure laid down against TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy) and consists of a ban on the use of processed animal protein (PAP) in feed for farmed animals.
TSE compliance certificates are a type of CEP (Certificate of Suitability to the European Pharmacopoeia), which are used to maximise safety when handling material that may have been contaminated.
Country of Origin Certificates (TSE BSE Certificates) can only be provided by Customer Care as these should be populated and provided based on orders placed by customers.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) belongs to the unusual group of progressively degenerative neurological diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).
The cause of TSEs is believed to be prions, or pathogenic agents that are transmissible and which induce abnormal folding of specific normal cellular proteins (called prion proteins) found in the brain. The abnormal folding induced by the prions leads to brain damage and characteristic symptoms of the disease.
: transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. The causative agent of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) or prion diseases, which include sheep scrapie, mad cow disease, and human variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), is still hotly debated.
In 2000 the TSE became part of a publicly traded company, TSX Group Inc.; two years later the exchange adopted TSX as its abbreviation. In 2008 the TSX Group acquired the derivatives market Montréal Exchange Inc. (MX) and changed its name to the TMX Group.
TSE Certificates (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy) come packaged with products that could potentially have TSE risk, such as BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), but some people don't know what the certificate means or why it is so important.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), widely referred to as “mad cow disease,” is a chronic degenerative TSE disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle. It is caused by an abnormal prion protein. It has been identified in two forms: classical BSE (C-Type) and atypical BSE forms (L-type or H-type).
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also known as prion diseases, are a group of rare degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny holes that give the brain a "spongy" appearance. These holes can be seen when brain tissue is viewed under a microscope. They can occur in humans and animals.
