Risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in relation to animal spongiform encephalopathies: a collaborative study in Europe

A Hofman. Eur J Epidemiol. 1991 Sep.

Abstract

This paper describes a study of the risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in various European countries. The objectives of the study are to investigate the frequency of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other human spongiform encephalopathies in Europe in relation to animal spongiform encephalopathies, and to assess the risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in relation to genetic, occupational and nutritional factors. The study will consist of three parts: the establishment of registries of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease on the basis of cases in the registries, and molecular genetic studies with material collected in the registries.
