The evidence for an infectiousagent is tantalizing but not yet convincing.
3
Many prion diseases have the gut as a portal of infectiousagent entry.
4
The infectiousagent in both diseases is a rogue protein known as a prion.
5
A virus is an infectiousagent that can only replicate inside another organism's cells.
1
Crucial to this scientific investigation is acceptance of the prion as the sole infectiveagent responsible for various forms of CJD and its animal equivalents.
2
An infectiveagent was isolated in 38 % of all cases with infection and of those 50 % were gram positive bacteria.
3
These naturally occurring infectiveagents contaminate bacterium and replicate once within.
