Last I heard, or remember reading...Gadjusek did not believe that prions were
the cause of TSEs and Mad Cow disease. I believe he (Gadjusek) was leaning
toward some infectious etiology (yet to be discovered).
I wish I could remember where I read this. But I do clearly recall that
Gadjusek was NOT wholly convinced of Pruisner's prion theory for TSEs.
If I find the citation, I will post to the group and send to you, as well.
<<I believe the cause of prion diseases are most likely prion proteins.... See
the
work of Gadjusek for this.>>
