All clinically-relevant blood components transmit prion disease following a single blood transfusion: a sheep model of vCJD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Variant CJD (vCJD) is an incurable, infectious human disease, likely arising from the consumption of BSE-contaminated meat products. Whilst the epidemic appears to be waning, there is much concern that vCJD infection may be perpetuated in humans by the ...

Detection of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease prions in skin: implications for healthcare

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2018
Editorial summary Evidence has recently been reported of prion seeding activity in skin tissue from patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). This is relevant information for infection control measures during surgery.

Dental treatment and risk of variant CJD - a case control study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Objective: Knowledge of risk factors for variant CJD (vCJD) remains limited, but transmission of prion proteins via re-useable medical devices, including dental instruments, or enhanced susceptibility following trauma to the oral cavity is a concern ...
