Treatment edit
According to Google, the treatment of this disease is to keep the person comfortable as possible. Does this count? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4700:2D30:F081:D1F8:E30B:583D (talk) 20:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- "According to Google" never counts. However we should be able to find a Reliable source for the same statement. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 14:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC).
Frequency? edit
Frequency: "4 cases (2017)" is wholly misleading, and contrary to the table showing European case numbers on the same page. This should be revised, or deleted.
WP:VET edit
This is one of the most popular pages in Wikipedia:WikiProject Veterinary medicine's scope. Very few editors watch WT:VET's pages, which means that questions may not be answered in a timely manner. If you are an active editor and interested in animals or veterinary medicine, please put WT:VET on your watchlist. Thank you, WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy → Mad cow disease – It is the common name. sam1370 (talk · contribs) 06:21, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose, the present name is appropriate to the formal scholarly language of an encyclopaedia. Also no evidence provided that this is the common name. A quick search on Google Scholar gives:
- "Bovine spongiform encephalopathy", about 45,200 results
- "mad cow disease", about 36,800.

- Oppose BSE is well-known enough as a term to remain the title. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 19:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose It certainly isn't the common name in the reliable sources. A quick Pubmed search reveals 284 results for mad cow disease vs 2,456 results for bovine spongiform encephalopathy. --GGT (talk) 15:05, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
