Detailed explanation-1: -Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common form of prion disease that affects humans is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
Detailed explanation-3: -It is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion disease. These types of diseases can spread between human and animals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The majority of cases of CJD (about 85%) are believed to occur sporadically, caused by the spontaneous transformation of normal prion proteins into abnormal prions. This sporadic disease occurs worldwide, including the United States, at a rate of roughly 1 to 2 cases per 1 million population per year.
