Is there horizontal transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?

CONCLUSION: Israel has a high predominance of f-CJD compared to s-CJD. The mean incidence rate of s-CJD in Israel is similar to most countries. Between 1985 and 2018, the annual age adjusted incidence rates for both forms of CJD remaine d stable. Thus, there is no evidence that CJD is transmitted from affected individuals to others.
