WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The first apparent case of mad cow disease in the United States has been discovered, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday.
워싱턴(CNN)-미국에서 처음으로 명백한 광우병증상이 발견되어졌다고 미국농무부에서 전했다.
Two tests have been carried out on meat from the cow, enabling Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman to call the case a "presumptive positive." A sample is being flown to England for a third test to confirm the case.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, is linked to a similar form of the incurable and fatal brain-wasting disease in humans, called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD.
사람에게서 치료할수도 없고 치명적으로 뇌를 파괴시키는 질병이 소의 뇌를 스폰지 형태로하는 질환 또는 BSE와 비슷하게 나타나는 형태를 변종 Creutzfeldt-Jakob 병, 또는 vCJD라 부른다.
There have been a small number of cases of vCJD reported worldwide, primarily in the United Kingdom, in people who ate BSE-contaminated meat.
광우병으로 부터 오염된 고기를 먹은 사람들에게서 vCJD의 소수의 사례가 첫번째로 영국에서 보고되었다.
Within hours of the announcement, an official with Japan's agriculture ministry told CNN that his country would ban imports of U.S. beef. South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore all followed suit Wednesday.
발표 몇시간안에 일본의 농업부는 미국에서로 부터의 소고기수입을 금지한다고 CNN 은밝혔다.한국 타이완 말레이시아 와 싱가폴 또한 모두 탄원을 수요일 뒤이었다
U.S. officials believe that meat from the animal left a processing plant, Veneman said, and an investigation is under way to determine if any has reached store shelves. 미국 관리들은 동물에서부터 가공된 고기가 가공공장으로부터 떠났고(죽은 소를 자르고 다듬는 공장을 말합니다) 어느 상점이 그 고기를 보유하였는지 조사를 시작했다고 배니먼이 말했다.(광우병소가 발견되었지만 이미 시중에 유통되어있는상태라 어느 가게에서 그고기를 보유하였고 어느 가게에서 그고기가 팔렸는지 역추적을 의미하는듯 합니다)
However, that does not mean the public is in danger, Veneman said. 그러나 이것이 국가가(국민들이)위험에 처해 있다고 의미하는것은 아닙니다.
"One important thing to remember is that muscle cuts of meat have almost no risk," Veneman said, emphasizing that the disease is typically spread by consumption of brain or nerve tissue, which did not enter the food system.
기억해야할 중요한 하나는 근육이 제거된 고기는 거의 위험이 없으며,음식 편성(반찬)에는 들어가지 않는 뇌와 신경들의 조직의 소비(섭취) 에의해 전형적으로 질병(광우병)은 퍼진다고 배니먼은 말했다.
(미국에서 지금 안전하다고 말하고있죠 한국의 과학적이지 않은 헛소문들이 사람들을 광우병의두려움에 떨게한다고..문제없다고 자기네 나라소 대부분을 자신들이 소비하고있다고..우선여기서 뇌 와 신경들은 우선 원래부터 음식취급도 안합니다 먹을일이 없죠..우리나라는 다받아들입니다)
아래는 뭐 철저히 조사하고있다 뭐 이런내용입니다...
뭐 지금까지의 광우병 발생을 빙산의 일각에 불구하다는말도 누군가 했습니다(아래에 있음) 중요한 부분만해석했습니다.
"I know of no science to show that you can transmit BSE from muscle cuts of meat."
근육을 잘라낸 고기로부터 광우병이 전달될수있다는것은 과학적이않다.
The sick animal came from a farm in Mabton, Washington, about 40 miles southeast of Yakima. It was a so-called "downer" animal, meaning it was unable to walk when it reached the slaughterhouse, which under USDA rules triggers automatic testing.
"While this would represent the first finding of BSE in the United States we have worked hard to ensure our response is swift and effective," she said.
Separate rounds of tests, including what Veneman termed the "gold standard" procedure for detecting BSE, done at a USDA facility in Ames, Iowa, led her to term the case "presumptive positive" for BSE.
The sample was being flown by military aircraft to the United Kingdom for a final round of testing, Veneman said. Those results are expected in three to five days, she said.
The USDA has placed the farm under quarantine.
White House Spokesman Jim Morrell says President Bush, who is at Camp David, was briefed by Veneman before the public announcement. Morrell says the White House is monitoring developments.
Mad cow disease first appeared in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s and resulted in the slaughter of millions of cattle.
BSE spread across the European cattle industry after it first developed in the UK in the mid-1980s, but the first case in North America appeared in the Canadian province of Alberta in May. Eighteen farms were quarantined, but no additional cases were discovered.
The infectious agent takes at least six to eight years to cause symptoms in cows.
BSE is spread only by the consumption of infected feed and is not transmitted from cow to cow.
"It's an important point to make that the disease is difficult to spread," said Steve Lyle, director of Public Affairs for the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
A critic of cattle industry safety standards said the current case is likely "the tip of an invisible iceberg."
"There are more cases, no doubt about it," said John Stauber, author of Mad Cow, USA.
Accusing Veneman of underplaying the severity of Tuesday's finding, Stauber said the fact it took so long to find a case only underscores a weakness in the testing system.
"In Europe and Britain, they test virtually every beef animal for mad cow," Stauber said. "That's what we should be doing in the United States."
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association promised to support aggressive steps to eliminate any trace of BSE from the U.S. cattle population, and said the system had worked in tracking down the case in Washington state.
"Consumers should continue to eat beef with confidence," the NCBA said in a statement. "All scientific studies show that the BSE infectious agent has never been found in beef muscle meat or milk and U.S. beef remains safe to eat."
A spokesman promised a vigorous campaign to reassure the public, saying "We will be on this like white on rice, the next few days."

이글보면 미국에서 광우병발생했을때 최대한 국민들에게 안심을 주려고했겠죠
그러면서 하는말이 근육을 잘라낸 고기는 거의 (전부다도 아닙니다) 광우병에서
위험하지 않다고하며 뇌와 신경조직은 음식으로 쓰이지 않는부분이며 이부이에서
광우병발생을 말하고있습니다 2003년도 미국은...분명 말하고있습니다.
지금은 통제없이 받아들이는 저희에게 위험하지않다고 말하고 있습니다.
언론에서 과학적이지않은 사실로 국민들은 불안에 떨고 있게 하는데..어이없을
따름입니다.
지금여기선 근육을 잘라내지않으면 광우병위험이 있고 뇌 와 신경 조직에서도
광우병 위험이있다고 말하는것입니다
광우병에 대해 찾아보다 발견했습니다 읽어보다 지금 미국에대한 태도 화가나서
