About This Book
Dieses umfassende Werk in englischer Sprache richtet sich gleichermaßen an Studenten und Forscher. Es behandelt systematisch alle Aspekte der Prionenkrankheiten, von ihrer Geschichte, Mikrobiologie und Pathologie bis hin zu Übertragungswegen und möglicher Prävention. Das Buch beschreibt Krankheiten wie Creutzfeld-Jakob-Krankheit, Kuru, Rinderwahn (BSE) und Scrapie, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der biochemischen, molekularbiologischen, genetischen und klinischen Aspekte. Eine genaue Beschreibung der Wirkung von Prionenkrankheiten im Bereich der Pharmazie, bei Blutprodukten, Desinfektion, chirurgischen Instrumenten und der Epidemiologie rundet das Werk mit einer Diskussion über präventive Maßnahmen ab.
