  abstract: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), an incurable illness that destroys the human brain, is generally transmitted genetically or through blood transfusions. Cattle share a similar illness called bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease. When people with no history of CJD or blood transfusions began contracting the disease, the question arose: could eating tainted beef be the cause? Neurologist Dr. Stanley Prusiner answered the question--and won the Nobel prize--when he discovered the harmless prion and its mutated form, which is the cause of both diseases. This program is a valuable source of information on animal and human encephalopathies, whose spread threatens to become a worldwide epidemic.
