Up until now, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) was thought to be caused by just one pathogen, which explained the highly uniform features of the disease in cattle. Unexpectedly, among cattle diagnosed with BSE in France, we found six cases where the disease marker, i.e. the prion protein, had molecular features clearly distinct from those typically found in BSE. Furthermore, two other cases were recently identified in Italy, with features different both from typical BSE and from these six atypical cases in France. Histopathological features in these two Italian cases also strongly suggested that the disease affecting these animals might not have been BSE. Hypotheses on the origin o...
