Yes

Very similar.But much longer incubation.There is extreme medical/scientific confusion on these types of diseases.Some say it is related to alzheimers.

Hard to get a true picture of the extent of the problem.I tried to make sense of it last year, but in between the PETA types ranting and various governments and beef industry trying to CYA,it is hard to get a good feel on how prevelant nVCJD is or will be.

Definate diagnosis in about 200 cases in England.Possible cases elsewhere.Best advise I saw once on the now defunct madcow.com site was in about 10 years, if the number of cases in England go over 250,000, we have a major problem.Of cource by then, it will be too late to solve.If the number of cases does not reach that level,it will continue to be the rare disease it has always been.

Yes, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in elk and Scrapie (in sheep and goats), along with BSE, are all TSE's.

Those conditions are related to "angry antelope," "miffed moose," "bitchy bison," and "snippy candidate" diseases.....
