In order to find out whether BSE exists in Italy 378 brains of normally slaughtered 2-10 years old cattle submitted from slaughterhouses all over the country were examined histologically. None showed the typical lesions of BSE. About 11.5% of the brains contained large vacuoles in the neurons of brain stem nuclei, in particular the red nucleus in the midbrain. They were considered non specific.
为了查明意大利是否存在疯牛病，对从全国各地屠宰场送来的378头2至10岁正常屠宰牛的大脑进行了组织学检查。没有一头牛显示出疯牛病的典型病变。约11.5%的大脑在脑干核的神经元中，特别是中脑的红核中含有大液泡。这些被认为是非特异性的。
