Tissue Distribution of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Agent in Primates after Intravenous or Oral Infection
Lancet 363:422-428,411, Herzog,C.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings suggest that the possible risk of vCJD linked to endoscopic procedures might be currently underestimated. Human iatrogenic vCJD cases infected intravenously raise the same public-health concerns as primary cases and need the same precautionary measures with respect to blood and tissue donations and surgical procedures.
