Smithsonian Channel Kuru The Science And The Sorcery 2014

Australian scientist Michael Alpers dedicated over 50 years to researching
Kuru, an obscure and incurable brain disease unique to the Fore people of New
Guinea. Kuru was once thought to be a psychosomatic illness, an infection, a
genetic disorder, even a sorcerer's curse, but Alpers' findings pointed to
cannibalism as the culprit. Yet a recent discovery has proven to be even more
disturbing: the malady is linked to mad cow disease and its human equivalent,
variant CJD. With a decades-long incubation period, could a larger outbreak be
on its way?
