The Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance System (CJDSS) is a unit of the Public Health Agency of Canada. It studies the various variants of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and at least as of 2017, assisted "with DNA sequencing, autopsy and case confirmation".[1] It was created in 1998 (along with a slew of other OECD national reporting systems[2]) "in response to the widespread outbreak of vCJD in the United Kingdom",[3] and "is a research project that relies on direct CJD reporting by all neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, geriatricians, and infectious disease physicians to the" PHAC.[4]
History
The CJDSS issued its first annual report in 1998.[3]
In 2002, the CJDSS issued a report entitled "Infection Control Guidelines: Classic CJD in Canada".[5]
In 2004, the CJDSS, which had up until then been part of Health Canada's Population and Public Health Branch, was incorporated into the newly-formed PHAC.
In 2007, the CJDSS issued a report entitled "Classic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Canada Quick Reference Guide 2007".[6]
In 2013, Coulthart et al described at an academic conference Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease reporting in Canada.[7]
