Mad cow disease is commonly transmitted through the consumption of the infected meat. The disease is transmitted by a protein termed prion. Prion may remain dormant for years before actively replicating itself. Scientists have stated that prion may self-replicate. Because of such unpredictable nature, it is difficult to detect the disease.
