Can you get mad cow disease from eating just one piece of infected meat?

Is one piece of infected meat all it takes for you to get mad cow disease? I mean, do you need to eat a large amount, or is just one teeny slice enough to doom your future to death?
It depends on how much the cow was affected.  (+ info)

What's the difference between an endemic disease and an epidemic disease?

---

And can a disease be classified as both
Please explain your answer and give some examples.
An endemic disease is one that is continuously present in the population, often because there is a non-human reservoir for the microbe that causes it. Examples would be malaria (in tropical countries) or histoplasmosis (in America).
An epidemic disease is one that spreads in a sudden, massive surge within a population that is largely without immune protection. An obvious example is influenza, that tends to cause epidemics each time a new virus strain emerges.
An example of a disease that maybe endemic or epidemic is cholera - it can be endemic locally in areas with poor sanitation but can spread violently if sanitation breaks down in disaster areas.  (+ info)

What is a good disease to do a project on?

---

I have to do a powerpoint project for anatomy on a disease. I also have to write a 6 page research paper on it. I have no idea what disease to do though. What is an interesting disease that I can easily write 6 pages on?
I think that part of the reason for the fall of the Roman Empire was the fact that they started to travel to more distant places as they got wealthier and they eventually brought back a rat on a ship that was infected with the bubonic plague. I saw that on the History Channel on a show about the Dark Ages. The fall of the Roman Empire was followed by the Dark Ages. There was a lot of turmoil and war and whatnot because there was no stabilizing force controlling Europe.

I got this from the third paragraph in this link:

Bubonic plague probably originated in India and spread by ship from there to Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean.
