Area of Science:

Context:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) surveillance in the Netherlands.
Review of clinical symptoms and epidemiological data up to 2006.
Analysis of passive surveillance system sensitivity.

Purpose:

To review the current situation of BSE in the Netherlands.
To discuss the epidemiology and risk factors of BSE.
To evaluate the effectiveness of surveillance and policy measures.

Summary:

82 cases of BSE were reported in cattle born in the Netherlands by 2006.
Cross-contamination of feed with meat-and-bone meal was identified as the primary cause.
A decline in BSE cases is anticipated due to implemented control measures.
Passive surveillance systems demonstrate low sensitivity in detecting BSE cases.

Impact:

The findings inform future BSE policy and management strategies.
Recommendations for adapting European BSE policy based on declining case numbers.
Emphasis on continued public health protection and disease eradication efforts.
