India dismisses Lancet's mad cow

NEW DELHI: The government is furious about a hypothesis that the epidemic of mad cow disease which struck Europe had its roots in exports, decades ago, of animal feed and bones from South Asia which included human remains scavenged from the Ganga.

Published in the reputed medical journal Lancet, this hypothesis has been picked up by the world’s media.


."Misleading, highly mischievous, a figment of imagination, absurd," says India’s animal husbandry secretary P M A Hakeem, seeing in it a design to damage India’s trade.


Officials at the Indian Council for Medical Research are as scathing. A senior epidemiologist said: "In India, we haven’t had a single case when cattle or sheep have died of mad cow disease. In the absence of any evidence, how can one support this study? This is just a weird guess which will not hold water. The report can only be given a chance if the researchers can give evidence of feed exported from India being infected."
