Hello everyone! in this video we will talk about prions, a class of interesting agents that can cause devastating disease. We first discuss what is a prion, and a bit about the history of how prion diseases were discovered, focusing on Scrapie. Later, we explain the disease mechanism of Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), as well as elaborate on how this disease can impact humans. Later, we discuss Kuru, a form of prion disease that can infect humans, and at last, mad cow disease and how that was transmitted from cows to humans. I hope you enjoy! leave a comment and subscribe :D
