The director of public health is stressing a type of CJD recently diagnosed in the Island is extremely rare, and not infectious.
There is no known cure for Cruetzfeldt –Jackob disease, a degenerative brain disorder.
A woman in her fifties died from the disease last Thursday.
Dr Parameshwaran Kishore says the type identified was sporadic CJD, a strain of the disease which is not the same as variant CJD, a type often associated with the human form of BSE of mad cow disease:
