Not too much help, but I know the scientific name for it is bovine spongiform encephalitis

In Russian, is there a distinction between the human and bovine forms?

human: kreutzfeld-jakob disease
cows: bovine spongiform encephalopathy

I don't think there is any difference. We usually say коровье бешенство.

PS: I wish it were "болезнь Сумасшедшей Коровы". Sounds way cooler. :-)))
