AB The occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Great Britain, first detected in 1986, has necessarily stimulated a large research programme. Encompassed in this are studies of the epidemiology of the disease. These commenced in 1987 and are continuing. The ensuing results have been reported and reviewed during the course of the epidemic. This paper provides a brief overview of the results of the epidemiological studies, but concentrates on the more recent features of the epidemic which are important in assessing the future course of the disease.
