The beginning of paragraph two mentions "mysterious infectious agents" and then has these agents in the singular; visiting the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease revision history shows that this part did indeed refer specifically to the prions causing C-JD so I've clarified it as such here. --KQ
Isn't fatal familial insomnia genetic? --LDC
is it really Creutzfeldt? I thought it was spelt with a "K"
All of the references I checked spell the names as "Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt" and "Alfons Maria Jakob". Both are German, and I agree that the initial-C looks odd for a German name, and "Creutz" is not a German word I'm familiar with. Maybe he has a different ancestry or something.
