Kuru is a neurological disease that was found only in certain people in New Guinea. While the last person known to have this disease died in 2005, because it has an extremely long incubation period, it's possible that it will show up again in the future. This disease is not normally contagious, but was spread through cannibalism practiced by certain tribes. It can also enter the body through open wounds that come in contact with the infective organism.
