Abstract
In 1996, fears emerged that the human prion disease variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (vCJD) might correspond to infection with the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Research has since confirmed that BSE is indeed likely to have caused vCJD through alimentary contamination. Approximately one million contaminated cattle are thought to have entered the human food chain and, consequently, a major future epidemic of vCJD is predicted.
