Kuru is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease that was once endemic among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is caused by a prion, which is an abnormal protein that can cause other normal proteins to misfold and accumulate in the brain, leading to brain damage.

Kuru is transmitted through the practice of cannibalism, specifically the consumption of the brains and other tissues of deceased individuals as part of funerary rituals. The disease has a long incubation period, typically lasting several years before symptoms appear.

The symptoms of kuru can include difficulty walking, tremors, muscle stiffness, and difficulty controlling movements. As the disease progresses, affected individuals may experience difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing.
