Why are prions unlike any other infectious disease?

Prions are unlike other infectious diseases because they lack nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and consist solely of misfolded proteins that can induce other proteins to misfold in a similar manner. This unique ability to self-propagate and spread within the body without the need for genetic material makes prions particularly challenging to detect and treat. Additionally, prion diseases are generally untreatable and inevitably fatal.
