Supporting the goals and ideals of "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day".
The resolution supports the goals and ideals of "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day" to raise awareness of this rare, fatal brain disorder. CJD, a prion disease, affects about 1 to 2 individuals per 1,000,000 each year in the United States, resulting in approximately 600 cases annually. The resolution recognizes the importance of continued prion disease surveillance, particularly through examination of postmortem human brain tissue, to evaluate whether chronic wasting disease (CWD) can spread to humans.
