Colin Masters et al. did a quite careful study of the infection rate of
Healt Care workers (including pathologists) as part of their large
epidemiologic study "Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: Patterns of worldwide
occurrence and significance of famalial and sporatic clustering,"
Annals of Neurology (1979) 5:177-188.

The "Prion Digest" is a Usenet distributed e-mail list, compiled from
postings to it, and distributed weekly (current plan is for early Sat.
A.M.)
While the main goal of the digest is to provide a resource for
researchers working with prions and interested bystanders, all are
welcome. All articles posted will be included in the next digest. If
a poster feels that his posting is of an urgent nature, it may be
distributed sooner than the regular digest. If you want to post an
"urgent" message send it to the prion-request address, not the prion
one.
All requests regarding administrivia (subscriptions, cancellations,
comments, etc.) should be mailed to the moderator
<prion-request at acc.stolaf.edu>. All postings to the digest should be
directed to <prion at acc.stolaf.edu>.
There are archives of all back issues available via anonymous ftp from
beowulf at acc.stolaf.edu (130.71.192.20) in the pub/prion directory. If
you do not have ftp access, please write <prion-archive at acc.stolaf.edu>
and back issues will be mailed to you.
