Abstract
There has been a tremendous amount of publicity concerning the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, and this has led to speculation regarding the possible risk to humans following the emergence of new forms in cattle and cats. We review the data relating to these diseases in the light of new developments, particularly in the fields of molecular biology and epidemiology.
