what does kuru cause
Kuru causes physiological, as well as neurological effects that ultimately lead to death. It was endemic among the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea and was confined to the Fore population and those nearby populations with whom they intermarried.uru is believed to be caused by prions and is related to CJD. Although it is considered a transmissible prion disease, some evidence shows the origin of the outbreak was due to eating a human (or a corpse) with sporadic CJD, thus implying a common pathophysiology.
