1990年11月，瑞士诊断出第一例牛海绵状脑病（BSE），尽管在联合王国确定的风险因素在瑞士并不完全存在。截至1998年12月29日，共记录了282例BSE病例（均为在瑞士出生的动物）。病例数正在下降，1998年（截至1998年12月29日）诊断出14个病例，所采取的措施是有效的。然而，目前正在评估目前活动中可能存在的弱点，这些弱点使这种疾病得以存在。如有必要，将采取进一步措施，以避免对人类和动物健康造成哪怕是最小的风险。过去的经验表明，有必要不断审查情况，并以透明的方式定期向公众和专业人员通报情况。
The first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Switzerland was diagnosed in November 1990, although the risk factors identified in the United Kingdom were not all present in Switzerland. At 29 December 1998, a total of 282 BSE cases (all animals born in Switzerland), had been recorded. The number of cases is declining, with fourteen cases diagnosed in 1998 (at 29 December 1998).The measures taken are effective. However, the potential weakness in current activities that allow the disease to exist are being evaluated. Further measures to avoid even minimal risk for human and animal health will be taken if required. Experience gained from the past indicates that it is necessary to review the situation constantly and to inform the public and professionals regularly and in a transparent manner.
