Mad cow crisis (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) had many consequences on the regulatory framework in several fields. It is now obvious that the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy is transmissible to man, provoking a new condition which differs from the sporadic from of Creutzfedt-Jakob Disease (CJD) called variant or new variant (vCJD). This paper tries to review the most important new findings in the scientific field of spongiform encephalopathies.
疯牛病危机（牛海绵状脑病）在多个领域对监管框架产生了诸多影响。现在很明显，牛海绵状脑病病原体可传染给人类，引发一种不同于散发性克雅氏病（CJD）的新病症，即变异型或新型变异型（vCJD）。本文试图综述海绵状脑病科学领域最重要的新发现。
