No, although there is a hypothesis that prion diseases are associated with an undetected viral pathogen.
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is caused by a virus, specifically a coronavirus. It is not caused by a prion or a viroid.
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.
Prions are misfolded proteins and may form because of some misreading of the DNA code. Virions are extracellular state of a virus with nucleocapsid.
Secondary structure of prion proteins in prion disease like Creutz feldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is
All prion diseases are inevitably fatal; there are no known cures.
NO. It is caused by a PRION, not a virus.
No, although there is a hypothesis that prion diseases are associated with an undetected viral pathogen.
A virus or a prion.
A virus, a viroid or a prion
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is caused by a virus, specifically a coronavirus. It is not caused by a prion or a viroid.
FALSE. BSE is caused by a PRION or misfolded protein, NOT a virus.
Mad Cow Disease or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is NOT caused by a virus, it is a PRION, which is a mis-folded protein.
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.
As far as biological viruses, the prion is smaller than a virus. It it a misfolded protein.
A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.

Prions are misfolded proteins and may form because of some misreading of the DNA code. Virions are extracellular state of a virus with nucleocapsid.
