What pathogen causes CJD?
A prion.
Is a virus a prion?
No, although there is a hypothesis that prion diseases are associated with an undetected viral pathogen.
Pathogen that causes disease in animals by forming a protein clump?
prion
Explain how a non-replicating protein can act as a transmissible pathogen?
Prions are the easiest way to answer this. Prions are like mis-folded proteins that cannot reproduce. When a prion enters a cell, it interacts with the normal protein and transforms it into the prion's version. By transmissible pathogen it means that the forgein body is able to be passed along.
Once the body encounters a pathogen and destroys it what is created?
Once the body activated, killer T cells it recognize pathogen and destroy them. In response that will create memory B cells and T cells specific to a certain pathogen, so if it ever came back it will be killed immediately.
What is a term commonly used for entrance and exit for pathogen into the body?
prion

If the same pathogen invades the body twice it will be recognized and destroyed more quickly the second time because of what?
Memory B cells act like an internal vaccine because once it fights the pathogen off it will recognize it. This is how they make vaccines because they inject you with a small amount of the pathogen not enough to harm you so your memory B cells recognize it.
What structure is on the be cell that helps recognize the pathogen?
the antigens
