Mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy -> variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans).
Reason: It is a prion disease that causes progressive, fatal neurodegeneration with no cure and essentially 100% mortality. By contrast, campylobacteriosis is usually self‑limited, brucellosis is treatable with antibiotics (though chronic), and influenza—while capable of causing large outbreaks and severe disease—has treatments and vaccines.
