CJD Overview Bob Will, National CJD Surveillance Unit, Edinburgh, UK Associazione Italiana Encefalopatie da Prion Milano 3 Ottobre 2009

Science 1968

Questions What is the origin of infection in CJD? Is there a link to scrapie in sheep? What are the clinical and pathological characteristics of CJD? What are the epidemiological characteristics of CJD?

SYSTEMATIC STUDIES OF CJD WORLDWIDE

AUTHORMETHODRISK FACTORS Bobowick et al. (1973)38 “selected” cases; healthy controls.None. Kondo & Kuroiwa (1982)Population study: 60 cases, healthy controls trauma in males. Kondo (1985)88 autopsied cases; autopsied controls organ resection. Davanipour et al (1985)26 cases; 40 controlstrauma or surgery to head or neck; other trauma; surgery needing sutures; tonometry Davanipour et al (1985)26 cases; 40 controlsroast pork, ham, underdone meat, hot dogs. Davanipour et al (1985)26 cases; 40 controlscontact with fish, rabbits, squirrels. Harries-Jones et al (1980)92 cases; 184 controlsHerpes Zoster; keeping cats; contact with pets other than cats/dogs; dementia in family Van Duijn et al (1998)405 cases; 405 controlsconsumption of raw meat; consumption of brain; frequent exposure to leather products, exposure to fertilizer consisting of hoof and horn. Collins et al (1999)241 cases; 784 controlsnumber of surgical procedures; residence or employment on a farm or market garden. Ward et al (2002)326 cases; 326 controlssurgery, especially in females; ear piercing, psychiatric consultation. SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS IN CONTROLLED STUDIES

Results Temporal distribution of vCJD cases in France and UK According to the year of onset, the number of vCJD cases in France reached a peak of incidence in 2004, five years after the peak observed in the UK in 1999

CHARACTERISTICS OF TSEs Prolonged incubation periods. Uniformly fatal neurological diseases. Causal agents (prions) resistant to sterilisation. No serological test for infection. Infection may be present in tissues (LRS) during the incubation period.
