Most of the BSE cases were in the United Kingdom, in particular in Great Britain. However, several other areas within the UK have had incidences of BSE.

• Similar to Great Britain, the number of cases peaked in 1992-1993 and have declined thereafter (see below for exceptions).
• Note that the number of cases are very low relative to Great Britain (the y-axis scale on the plot for Great Britain was 0-40,000 whereas the y-axis scale for this plot is 0-500.

Several non-UK countries have had cattle with BSE.

• Note that the number of cases are very low relative to Great Britain (the y-axis scale on the plot for Great Britain was 0-40,000 whereas the y-axis scales for these plots are 0-500.
• Also note that the peak incidences in these countries often occur after the 1992-1993 peak within the UK.
• Several countries outside the UK have a peak incidence for BSE between 1997-1999; about a 5 year lag behind the UK.
• Probably the non_UK cases were caused by feeding BSE-containing MBM exported from the UK.
