What are the main human diseases caused by prions?

Answer»

The main known human diseases of such type are the Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), the kuru and the Gerstmann-Sträussle-Scheinken disease (GSS). The hypothesis that many other diseases of unknown etiological agents are actually caused by self-replicating infectious proteins is strong.
