Kuru: A Journey Back in Time from Papua New Guinea to the Neanderthals’ Extinction
Abstract
Kuru, the first human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy was transmitted to chimpanzees by D. Carleton Gajdusek (1923–2008). In this review, I briefly summarize the history of this seminal discovery along its epidemiology, clinical picture, neuropathology and molecular genetics. The discovery of kuru opened new windows into the realms of human medicine and was instrumental in the later transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease as well as the relevance that bovine spongiform encephalopathy had for transmission to humans. The transmission of kuru was one of the greatest contributions to biomedical sciences of the 20th century. and con't https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4235695/

PORT MORESBY (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday offered to help Papua New Guinea create a sovereign wealth fund to manage its resource revenue and avoid a "resource curse" which could fuel conflict and corruption.
During her four-hour stop-over en route from Asia to New Zealand, Clinton stressed that the South Pacific island nation needed to manage its energy windfall, while preserving its diverse environment.
"There is a phrase 'resource curse' where countries with an abundance of natural resources like oil and gas or gold or minerals, if they are not handled right can actually (make) a country poorer instead of richer," Clinton told a news conference in the capital Port Moresby.
PNG is a resource-rich nation with reserves of gold and gas.
U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil is the majority stakeholder in a new $15 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in PNG due to come on stream in 2014.
But many in PNG fear the windfall from the country's biggest ever resource project could fuel corruption and violence.
Clinton said the United States wanted to provide whatever help it could, including assisting with the creation of a sovereign wealth fund, to help PNG manage its energy revenues.
"We know that Papua New Guinea wants to do this right and we want to provide whatever technical assistance and help that they would need," said Clinton.
