Hello!

CJD means "Creutzfeld Jakob Disease". If you're looking for further information, try http://www.mad-cow.org/ which is full of articles, pictures and useful links. Another interesting link is:

If steam sterilization is effective against Prions (which cause vCJD) and if yes, which time/temperature ratio is required, is still debated today. See also questions Q00002, Q00029, Q00211.
This discussion might easily eat up all of the EFHSS web space. ;-)

Best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen
