No, it is a virus, Prions are misfolded proteins and cause fatal neurological diseases.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as BSE, or Mad Cow Disease, is an exact example of a proteinaceous infectious particle, or Prion. It is an infectious molecule composed primarily of protien, unlike viruses. BSE attacks the brain, it is a neurodegenerative disease causing a break down of the brain tissue and spinal cord.
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.
A prion is a misfolded form of a protein molecule, specifically the prion protein (PrP). It can induce other normally folded PrP proteins to adopt the misfolded conformation, leading to the spread of prion diseases.
no prion is not a plant.it is a protienaceous infective particle. doesn't contain nucleic acid.

A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.

Prion is a portmanteau word of the two words protein and infection.
Slender-billed Prion was created in 1912.
Broad-billed Prion was created in 1777.
