“…The familial type of CJD (fCJD) has been documented in the US and ElSaadany/Semenciw/Ricketts/Mao/Giulivi Canada among families originating from Europe [4], but the investigations of six cases in a cluster in the Burlington area of Toronto revealed no link with a family history of CJD [5]. Cases of iatrogenic CJD among dura mater recipients have been identified in several countries including Canada [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Introduction: A descriptive epidemiological analysis to update trends of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) deaths, from 1979–2001, was undertaken. Methods: Cases with CJD as underlying cause were extracted. Age-adjusted death rates by age, sex, and province were calculated. Information on birthplace, autopsy indications and type of work were examined for death certificates from 1979 to 1997. Results: 462 cases were identified between 1979 and 1997. The average annual age-standardized mortality rate was 0.93 deaths per million persons during this period and 1.03 for 1998–2001. Persons 60 years or older demonstrated the highest average annual mortality rate. Rates were slightly higher among males and increased with age. Persons born in Canada accounted for 72% of deaths. Cause of death was verified by autopsy for 9.1% of patients while 21% of deaths indicated that additional information relating to underlying cause was expected. The service industry occupation represented the largest mortality (Quebec does not capture these data). Conclusions: Canadian rates are consistent with those of the United States and slightly higher than those of certain European countries. Approximately 44% of CJD cases had an autopsy record, though many were incomplete. We are unable to determine a relation with occupation. We recommend annual analysis of CJD death registrations for updated surveillance of trends, as mortality data are an efficient tool for monitoring incidence.

“…Commingling of dural grafts from different donors was discontinued and a sodium hydroxide treatment step was instituted to inactivate the CJD agent. Subsequent to widespread publication of this first case, many other Lyodura-associated CJD cases were reported worldwide, including in Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and a second case was reported in the United States (20, 21,47,49,53,54,57,77).…”

▪ Abstract Several prion disease–related human health risks from an exogenous source can be identified in the United States, including the iatrogenic transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), the possible occurrence of variant CJD (vCJD), and potential zoonotic transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD). Although cross-species transmission of prion diseases seems to be limited by an apparent “species barrier,” the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and its transmission to humans indicate that animal prion diseases can pose a significant public health risk. Recent reports of secondary person-to-person spread of vCJD via blood products and detection of vCJD transmission in a patient heterozygous at codon 129 further illustrate the potential public health impacts of BSE.
