		Daniel Carleton Gajdusek (born September 9, 1923, Yonkers, New York, U.S.A) is an American physician and medical researcher, who was the corecipient (along with Baruch Blumberg) of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976.
		Gajdusek correctly connected the prevalence of the disease with the practice of funerary cannibalism, practiced by the South Fore.
		Gajdusek correctly concluded that the disease was transmitted in the ritualistic eating of the brains of deceased relatives, which was practiced by the Fore.

	Gajdusek, Daniel Carleton - MSN Encarta
		Daniel Carleton Gajdusek, born in 1923, American virologist and Nobel laureate who demonstrated that kuru, a fatal brain disease among aboriginal people in New Guinea, was caused by an infectious agent.
		For this work, Gajdusek was awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, which he shared with American virologist Baruch Samuel Blumberg.
		Gajdusek showed that kuru was indeed similar to scrapie, as well as to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of humans.

	Daniel Carelton Gajdusek Biography \| scit_071234_package.xml
		In 1976 Daniel Carleton Gajdusek shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Baruch S. Blumberg (1925-) for their discoveries concerning "new mechanisms for the origin and dissemination of infectious diseases." Gajdusek had suggested the existence of "slow viruses," novel viruses that seemed to remain dormant for long periods of time before attacking the body.
		Gajdusek attended the University of Rochester and was awarded his bachelor's degree summa cum laude in 1943.
		When Gajdusek returned to the United States in 1958, he was able to carry out laboratory studies of kuru at the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, where he eventually established the Laboratories of Slow, Latent, and Temperate Virus Infections and of Central Nervous System Studies.

		Gajdusek's letters, journals and many professional publications also demonstrate that his work on kuru was motivated by his romantic attraction to primitive people and his thirst for adventure as well as scientific imperatives.
		Of course this does not mean that Gajdusek accepted sorcery as an explanation of kuru, but it does suggest that he understood and appreciated the Fore perspective and was prepared to learn from their detailed knowledge about aspects of the disease.
		Analysis of Gajdusek's journals demonstrates that even the most self-certain and eminent western medical practioners are capable of recognising the value of traditional modes of responding to and caring for the sick.

	Gajdusek, Daniel Carleton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gajdusek was born in Yonkers, New York, and educated at the universities of Rochester and Harvard, and the California Institute of Technology.
		Analyses of brain tissue failed to reveal any signs of infective organisms, but when Gajdusek injected extracts from the brains of kuru victims into the brains of chimpanzees, the animals began to display signs of the disease after about a year.
		This led Gajdusek to propose that kuru was caused by a virus that has a very long incubation period.
