# Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) - GOV.UK

> The UK government published its guidance page on bovine spongiform encephalopathy, describing the disease, its link to variant CJD, and the strict controls in place in the UK since the 1980s. The page is a general reference document rather than a new policy announcement.
