Abstract

The prion diseases are a large group of related neurodegenerative conditions, which affect both animals and people. They include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker, fatal familial insomnia, kuru in humans; bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, in cattle; and scrapie in sheep etc. All these diseases have long incubation periods, but they are typically rapidly progressive once clinical symptoms begin. All prion diseases have common early manifested ophthalmic symptoms. All prion diseases are fatal, with currently no effective form of treatment. However, increased understanding of their pathogenesis has recently led to the promise of effective prevalence and therapeutic interventions in the near future.
