'Cause' indeed! Try this:
TITLE Kuru sorcery : disease and danger in the New Guinea highlands
AUTHOR Shirley Lindenbaum
PUBLISHED Palo Alto, Calif. Mayfield Pub. Co.(1979)

>From what I recall of the book, it gives a fairly full account of kuru,
kuru patrols, and the course of the disease in the population after
intervention.
