AB Many  different  viruses  can  invade  the  central  nervous  system  and  cause  disease.  This  chapter  discusses  rabies,  a  viral  encephalitis  feared  since  antiquity  that  is  still  an  incurable  disease;  slow  virus  infections;  and  transmissible  spongiform  encephalopathies—rare  neurodegenerative  disorders  that  are  caused  by  unconventional  agents  called  “prions.”
