The Human Spongiform Encephalopathies: Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and the Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker Syndrome --;Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy --;Purification of Scrapie Agents: How Far Have We Come? --;The Scrapie Fibril Protein and Its Cellular Isoform --;Ultrastructural Studies of Prions --;In Vitro Expression and Biosynthesis of Prion Protein --;Prion Protein Genes: Evolutionary and Functional Aspects --;Scrapie Strain Variation and Its Implications --;Evidence for Biological and Structural Diversity Among Scrapie Strains --;Genetics of Prion Diversity and Host Susceptibility --;Natural Transmission and Genetic Control of Susceptibility of Sheep to Scrapie --;The Scrapie Agent In Vitro --;The Scrapie Agent: 'A Virus by Any Other Name' --;Novel Properties and Biology of Scrapie Prions --;Identifying and Mapping Changes in Gene Expression Involved in the Neuropathology of Scrapie and Alzheimer's Disease --;Search for a Transmissible Agent in Alzheimer's Disease: Studies of Human Buffy Coat.

Transmission between humans was originally reco- gnized in the unique epidemiology of kuru in New Guinea tribesmen, and concern about transmission from animals to humans has re-emerged as a result of the current epidemic of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in dairy cattle in Great Britain.
