Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles.
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

The molecular epidemiology of variant CJD [PDF]
The emergence of the novel prion diseases bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and, subsequently, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in epidemic forms has attracted much scientific attention.

Dura mater-associated Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease:experience from surveillance in the UK [PDF]
Between 1970 and 2003, seven cases of human dura mater‐associated Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) were identified in the UK. Furthermore, we identified a case of CJD in a porcine dura graft recipient.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), the most common human prion disease, is generally regarded as a spontaneous neurodegenerative illness, arising either from a spontaneous PRNP somatic mutation or a stochastic PrP structural change. Alternatively, the possibility of an infection from animals or other source remains to be completely ruled out ...

Does Improvement in Case Ascertainment Explain the Increase in Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Since 1970 in the United Kingdom? [PDF]
The aim of this study was to quantify the improvements in case ascertainment which are considered to explain the rise in the incidence of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Clinical perspectives of emerging pathogens in bleeding disorders. [PDF]
As a result of immunological and nucleic-acid screening of plasma donations for transfusion-transmissible viruses, and the incorporation of viral reduction processes during plasma fractionation, coagulation-factor concentrates (CFC) are now judged safe ...

Complicated symptomatology and diagnosis of Creuzfeld-Jakob disease on a basis of clinical case
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare condition. In this study we describe the diagnosis of the disease in a 73-year old female, presenting dementia. Diagnostic tests unveiled characteristic features of CJD. The diagnosis of CJD was confirmed. It is
