What does the Pathogen of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease look like?
What we know so far is that the "pathogen" is not alive. It is a protein, which we called it prion. It does not have DNA or RNA. It comprised of amino acids only. It causes problems by entering the host and change the shape of the good proteins in the brain. Then the immune cells in the brain try to eat up (engulf) these prion protein but at the same time kill the brain cells. As a result, the brain become a sponge.

Does mad cow disease start in your bones?
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease) is caused by an infectious misfolded protein called a prion. The prion gains entrance into the body through the small intestines and tonsils, then travels to the central nervous system. The prion does not start in the bones and does not generally affect the bones.
