Prions are misfolded proteins that can induce other normal proteins to misfold in a similar manner. This process can lead to the formation of protein aggregates that disrupt normal cell function, causing disease. The exact mechanism by which prions become harmful is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the conversion of normal proteins into the misfolded, disease-causing form.

What is the pathogen that causes Mad Cow Disease?
A prion, or misfolded protein caused by genetic mutation.
What pathogen causes CJD?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is caused by abnormal prion proteins that affect the brain's structure and function. It is not caused by a traditional pathogen like a virus or bacteria.

How do cows get mad cow disease?
Mad cow disease happens when the proteins in the brain of cow become misfolded. This is called prion. In simple words all proteins have to be folded before they can function and when some proteins in the brain become misfolded, such a state is called prions (misfolding of proteins) and it results in mad cow disease.
How serious is prion disease?

What causes Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?
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.
What is the mean of aggressive pathogen?

Antarctic Prion was created in 1789.
