Hugh Pennington, the emeritus professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University, told Newsnight that any new cases may well have originated at the same time as the original vCJD outbreak. He said it was probably the case that the MV-gene cases "have a longer incubation period, because they're more resistant... a longer period goes by between [the patient] being infected... and falling ill.".
