Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Cannibalism leads to death after decades
Eating human meat has been banned in Papua New Guinea for over 50 years. Nevertheless, 2700 people died of Kuru disease, which is transmitted by cannibalism. Because it resembles the human variant of mad cow disease, English researchers warn against a CJD epidemic. Researchers are taking a detour to the epidemic warning for Europe, and their subject of investigation sounds macabre: a ritual in which the cannibalism of earlier times survives still costs people their lives in Southeast Asia - although it has not been allowed to be practised since the middle of the last century. In Papua New Guinea, the people of the Fore tribe ritually ate the meat of their deceased. This was banned in the fifties. Nevertheless, Kuru disease is still rampant there, although it is considered probable that no one has contracted Kuru again since 1960. Between 1957 and 2004 more than 2700 Kuru cases occurred, as John Collinge from University College London counted.
In an investigation of the disease, the scientist even found eleven Kuru cases that occurred between July 1996 and June 2004 - all of them in people born before the end of the cannibalism rites. "The minimum incubation period ranges from 34 to 41 years," Collinge and his colleagues conclude. A maximum period of 56 years or more from infection to outbreak of the disease is likely. Parallels to the human variant of mad cow disease
The essay published by British researchers in The Lancet is not just relevant to people who cannibalised in their youth. Kuru is caused by pathologically altered prions - as is the new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (nvCJK). This is triggered by the consumption of BSE-infested beef.
This would also leave the extent of Creutzfeldt-Jakob "uncertain" and would probably still be underestimated. The belief that the number of new cases "has peaked and we have the worst of this frightening disease behind us must now be viewed with extreme skepticism," the researchers write. They warn of an uncertain number of nvCJD deaths in the coming decades. A veritable epidemic is conceivable.
There have been 161 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the UK to date, in which the brain is gradually perforated like a sponge. Only five of the patients were still alive at the beginning of June. Worldwide, the number of nvCJD victims is 187."
