Prions in Humans and Animals
Hörnlimann, Beat, Kretzschmar, Hans A., Riesner, Detlev
This comprehensive work covers all aspects of prion diseases (such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, mad cow disease (BSE), chronic wasting disease and scrapie), from their history, microbiology and pathology to their transmissibility and prevention. It includes chapters by, among many other notable scientists, William Hadlow, who discovered the relationship between the human and animal forms of prion diseases, and Stanley Prusiner, Nobel Laureate for his work on prions. Carefully edited with numerous illustrations, it offers a systematic approach committed to a clear presentation of the current knowledge of prion diseases.
