Prion diseases are efficiently transmitted by blood transfusion in sheep [PDF]

, 2008
The emergence of variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, following on from the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic, led to concerns about the potential risk of iatrogenic transmission of disease by blood transfusion and the introduction of costly ...

Transmission of prion disease [PDF]

APMIS, 2002
The transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans as variant Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (vCJD) has focused public attention on how prion diseases are transmitted and how prions reach the brain after exposure. Prion diseases are characterised by transmissibility and neuropathological features of gliosis, neuronal loss and microscopic ...
