Mad cow disease is a prion prions are known for causing a number of degenerative brain diseases in various animals Viroids ONLY exist in plants and cause errors in regulatory systems that control plant growth. They always exist withing host cells. Therefore there is no example in humans

What is a infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component?
Viruses are an infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component.
Viroids differ from viruses by what?
A Viroid is similar to a Virus, but is smaller and consists of only a strand of RNA, while a Virus is larger and can have either DNA or RNA strands.
Does a virus have a protein coat?
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.

What are single-stranded RNA molecules that have no surrounding capsids and infect plants called?
A viroid.
A disease causing particle made of RNA without a capsid is called?
A Prion. It transmits a mis-folded protein state, and replicates by causing the host's proteins to replicate into its mis-folded pattern. Mad Cow disease is an example of a prion.
What is the differet between virus and virod?
