Elias Manuelidis NEW HAVEN, Conn. Dr. Elias E. Manuelidis, an internationally recognized leader in the study of viral brain infections and brain tumors, died Wednesday of a stroke. He was 74.

Manuelidis, a professor emeritus at Yale Medical School, was Yale's former head of neuropathology and a professor of neurology at the school from 1951 to 1989. He was best known for his work on the polio virus, brain tumors and a dementing illness, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. In 1976, he was part of a research team that proved Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease was caused by a slow-acting viral infection. The first proof came from experiments in which the illness was transmitted to animals by injecting them with infected human brain tissue. Success in those experiments led to similar research that raised the possibility that some cases of Alzheimer's disease may be caused by infection with a slow-acting virus.
