- Abstract
The article focuses on variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in Great Britain. It states that vCJD is a human prion disease that was first discovered in Great Britain in 1996 wherein it has 166 reported cases of vCJD. It notes that the principal route of infection comes from the dietary exposure to beef products contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Consequently, effective sanitary measures were implemented to protect the human food chain from BSE since 1996.
