Romania: Romania Confirms the Second Case of BSE
In December 2014 Romania confirmed the second case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), atypical form, as part of the BSE surveillance program. According to National Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA), the sick animal came from a backyard farm located in the center of Romania. The first case was detected in May 2014 and it triggered the suspension of the status “country with negligible BSE risk” granted by the World Organization of Animal Health (OIE).
