Italy detects another case of mad cow

Here's somethnig we never seem to hear about in the US: the only cases I've heard of have been from Britain, Canada and the US. Makes me wonder what's happening with the Masai herds in East Africa, as well as the substantial herds in Argentina.

Italy reported the latest case of mad cow disease Tuesday, bringing to 123 the number of cases detected in the country since testing began in 2001, the Health Ministry said.
