INFORMATION CONCERNING TRANSMISIBLE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY
For the Scientific and Business World

Please note that news past January 2002 is now to be found on another site: www.priondata.org

The intention is to make available all the data about BSE, CJD and scrapie.
This involves continuously creating web pages.
Therefore this site is constantly under construction.
 

Please be involved in keeping this site up to date by forwarding data.
If you are unhappy with anything that appears here... please tell us.


 

Also I ask my scientific colleagues to take into account public health when considering BSE and to remember that:
"ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE IS NOT THE SAME AS EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE" - MJ REES
