Creuzfeld Jacob Disease, the haman form of Mad Cow Disease (BSE)

rare (usually fatal) brain disease (usually in middle age) caused by an unidentified slow virus; characterized by progressive dementia and gradual loss of muscle control

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, the human form of TSE, in which prions replicate inside the brain and spinal cord, causing holes to grow through the brain like a sponge.

Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, the most common of a small number of human TSE's, although still quite rare, it usually affects people in their old age, sixties and seventies. A new variation of it has been linked with BSE through a similarity in the Prion make-up and molecular signature (CJD2).
