He maʻi hou weliweli i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi maʻi like ʻole e hoʻoulu ai i ka maʻi pipi pupule, ua kapa ʻia kēia maʻibovine encephalitis. ʻO ke kumu ʻaʻole wau e wehewehe i ke ʻano o ka maʻi virus no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe ʻepekema he aha ia.
Nui nā manaʻo e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka maʻi virus, a ʻo ka mea maʻamau o ia mau mea he prion - kahi ʻāpana ʻano o ka protein hiki ke hoʻololi i kona ʻano, a laila he one ola ʻole, a laila lilo koke ia. he mea ola, hana a make. Akā ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike maoli he aha ia. ʻAʻole ʻike ka poʻe ʻepekema pehea e loaʻa ai i nā bipi ka maʻi maʻi. Wahi a kekahi poʻe, loaʻa nā bipi mai nā hipa i loaʻa i ka maʻi like, ʻaʻole ʻae kekahi i kēia manaʻo. ʻO ka mea wale nō i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻole ʻia ke ʻano o ka lawe ʻia ʻana o ka encephalitis bovine. ʻO kēia maʻi ke ʻano o ka UK no ka mea, ma ke ʻano kūlohelohe, ʻai nā pipi a ʻai wale i ka mauʻu a me nā lau, a hānai ʻia nā holoholona mahiʻai me nā ʻāpana ʻōpala o nā holoholona ʻē aʻe, ma waena o lākou e hele mai ma ka lolo kahi e ola ai kēia maʻi. Pela ke laha nei keia mai. ʻAʻole i hoʻōla ʻia kēia maʻi. Pepehi ia i nā bipi a hiki ke make i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe e like me nā pōpoki, minks, a me nā dia i hānai ʻia i ka pipi haumia. He maʻi like ko ka poʻe i kapa ʻia ʻO ka maʻi Cretzvelt-Jakob (CJD). Ua nui ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i ka like ʻana o kēia maʻi me ka encephalitis bovine a inā paha hiki i nā kānaka ke maʻi ma ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo pipi i maʻi ʻia. He ʻumi makahiki ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka bovine encephalitis i ka makahiki 1986, ua ʻōlelo nā luna aupuni o Pelekane ʻaʻole hiki i ke kanaka ke loaʻa i ka maʻi a he maʻi ʻokoʻa loa ka CJD - no laila hiki ke ʻai ʻia ka pipi. Ma ke ʻano he mālama, ua hoʻopau lākou i ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole e ʻai ʻia ka lolo, kekahi o nā ʻōpū, a me nā ganglions nerve e holo ana ma ka iwi kuamoʻo. Ma mua o kēia, hoʻohana ʻia kēia ʻano ʻiʻo no ka kuke ʻana pōkole и ʻieslio. Ma waena o 1986 a me 1996, ma kahi o 160000 mau bipi Pelekāne i loaʻa i ka bovine encephalitis. Ua luku ʻia kēia mau holoholona, ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻiʻo i mea ʻai. Eia naʻe, manaʻo kekahi kanaka ʻepekema ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 1.5 miliona poʻo o nā pipi i loaʻa i ka maʻi, akā ʻaʻole i hōʻike ka maʻi i nā hōʻailona. ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻikepili aupuni o UK e hōʻike ana no kēlā me kēia bipi i ʻike ʻia he maʻi, ʻelua mau bipi i ʻike ʻia ʻaʻohe maʻi i ʻike ʻia. A ʻo ka ʻiʻo o kēia mau bipi i maʻi ʻia i mea ʻai. I Malaki 1996, ua koi ʻia ke aupuni UK e hana i ka haʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he hiki ke loaʻa i ke kanaka ka maʻi mai nā bipi. He kuhi hewa kēia no ka mea ua ʻai ka miliona o ka poʻe i ka ʻiʻo haumia. Aia kekahi mau makahiki ʻehā ma hope o ka pāpā ʻia ʻana o nā mea hana meaʻai mai ka hoʻohana ʻana ka lolo и nā aʻalolo, ʻoiai ua ʻai mau ʻia kēia mau ʻāpana ʻiʻo i maʻi nui ʻia. ʻOiai ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana o ke aupuni i kāna kuhi hewa ʻana, ke koi mau nei ʻo ia i kēia manawa hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia me ke kuleana piha e wehe ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻino a pau o ka ʻiʻo a no laila, palekana loa ka ʻai ʻana i ka pipi. Akā i loko o kahi kamaʻilio kelepona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ua ʻae ka luna o ka lawelawe lāʻau holoholona o ka Meat Control Commission, ka hui aupuni no ke kūʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. Loaʻa ka maʻi maʻi bovine encephalitis ma nā ʻano ʻiʻo āpau, ʻo nā steaks wīwī. Hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēia maʻi maʻi i loko o nā puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke ʻōlelo maopopo i ka hopena o ka ʻai ʻana i kahi maʻi liʻiliʻi o kēia maʻi me ka ʻiʻo. ʻO ka mea a mākou i ʻike ai, he ʻumi a kanakolu paha makahiki e ʻike ʻia ai nā hōʻailona o ka bovine encephalitis, a i ʻole CJD, i loko o ke kanaka, a ʻo kēia mau maʻi e make mau ana i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki. E hauʻoli ana ʻoe i ka lohe ʻana ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i kahi hihia o kekahi e make ana i ka ʻawaʻawa kāloti.
