- However, no cases of nvCJD, a disease similar to BSE which affects people, have been reported in Portugal.
- Miller has already treated two people suspected of suffering from nvCJD ( which can be diagnosed with certainty only post mortem ).
- In humans, BSE is believed to lead to nvCJD ( new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease ), with a variety of symptoms occurring many years later.
- NvCJD, found almost exclusively in the United Kingdom, has been linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy ( BSE, or " mad cow disease " ).
- That is because two new ones have emerged : bovine spongiform encephalopathy, so-called mad-cow disease, and its human version, new-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or nvCJD.
- The National CJD Surveillance Unit, which keeps an eye on the disease, will get in touch with the six other suspected victims of nvCJD who are still alive, to tell them of Pruisner's results.
- However, the inevitable fatality of nvCJD, and the established nature ( and therefore known risks ) of the drugs in question, have led the government of Britain, the country worst affected by nvCJD, to take unusual measures.

- "Because products potentially contaminated by BSE were widely exported, the risk of ` nvCJD'is worldwide, " it said, but added that the incubation period is unknown, estimated at between 10 and 20 years.
- Two years ago, scientists from Britain's National CJD Surveillance Unit projected as few as 75 and as many as 80, 000 deaths from nvCJD, depending on the length of the incubation period and how the infection is passed from animals to humans.
- In humans, it is known as new variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease ( vCJD or nvCJD ), and by June 2007, it had killed 165 people in Britain, and six elsewhere with the number expected to rise because of the disease's long incubation period.
- It reviews the history of TSE epidemics, beginning with the infection of large numbers of the Fore people of the New Guinea Eastern Highlands during a period when they consumed their dead in mortuary feasts, and explores the link between new variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease ( nvCJD ) in humans and the consumption of beef contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly referred to as mad cow disease.
- "' January 2004 Is there a link between BSE, CJD and Scrapie ? "'- article by Frances Wolferstan, challenges the official theory the authorities would have us believe is that Scrapie ( a brain disease ) in sheep can lead to BSE in cattle, which can lead to nvCJD in humans, as a result of humans consuming meat from cattle which have consumed feedstuffs.
- To bring a bit of perspective to the whole " mad cow " panic, it's worth remembering that in the 20-or-so years since BSE became apparent, fewer than 160 humans have died in the entire world from nvCJD . Eating lots of hamburgers is " vastly " more likely to kill you from heart disease than CJD .-- Arwel 13 : 24, 24 September 2005 ( UTC)
