AIDS is a virus that attacks and replicates inside of a host. It basically destroys your immune system leaving you open to attacks from bacteria, other viruses, cancers, and possibly fungi and mold. Part of the reason AIDS is so dangerous is that it in and of itself doesn't kill you, it just leads to other things being able to attack you with impunity. Another answer:
No.
HIV Aids is an auto immune disease caused by a virus invading cells in the body and making the victim unable to combat everyday diseases that the immune system would normally fight without the person even being aware of it's presence.
Its a virus common sense should tell you that its name is The HUman Immunodeficendy (VIRUS)
A virus. That is what the V in HIV stands for.
I have heard it is a parasetic protist, plasmodium, but I am not entirely sure.
me i always thought is was bacteria lol but sone people could be different
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is the end-stage of HIV infection.
Malaria is a protozoa.
Plasmodium is a bacteria.
HIV is a virus which causes AIDS.
Virus (notable members: HIV, Influenza (flu)); bacteria (NM: E.Coli, salmonela); Fungi (NM: ringworm, athlete's foot); Prion (NM: mad cow disease); Protists (NM: Malaria, giardia)----- I know of two more; plants (NM: pollen); Pathogen (NM: tapeworm)
No. The smallest infective particle is a protein called a prion.
yes, a bacteriophage is a bacteria/viral particle/any prion/etc... which infects a bacterial cell.
Prion
Yes, if a irregular prion touches a normal functioning prion, the normal one turns bad.
No. It is a prion, or a misfolded protein.

No, cholera fever is not caused by prion. Instead, it is caused by a bacteria Vibrio cholerae. This bacteria fulfills the criteria for a cell as it possesses a limiting cell membrane, a matrix for metabolic reactions, and most importantly a genetic material containing coded information. On the other hand, a prion is simply known to be an infectious protein, and contains no genetic material.
yes, a bacteriophage is a bacteria/viral particle/any prion/etc... which infects a bacterial cell.
All forms of CJD are caused by the presence of a faulty protein in the brain, called prion. Prions occur in both a normal form, which is a harmless protein found in the body's cells, and in an infectious form, which causes disease.
A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.
Mad cow disease is scientifically known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE for short. BSE is caused by a mis-folded protein in the brain and spinal cord of cattle, so it is actually none of the above (virus, bacteria or protist). Prions are a novel form of disease infection distinct from the traditional three infectious routes identified in the early 1900s.
Prion Prion
Antarctic Prion was created in 1789.
Fulmar Prion was created in 1912.
Salvin's Prion was created in 1912.
