Prominent and persistent extraneural infection in human PrP transgenic mice infected with variant CJD.
<h4>Background</h4>The evolution of the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) epidemic is hazardous to predict due to uncertainty in ascertaining the prevalence of infection and because the disease might remain asymptomatic or produce an alternate, sporadic-like phenotype.<h4>Me...
