Prions are a relatively newly discovered infectious agent that consists primarily of protein. It is believed that prions are the transmissible cause for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, otherwise known as "mad cow disease." There is no current evidence to suggest that animals are capable of "detecting" prions.
