The pathogen composed only of protein is known as a prion. Prions are infectious agents that cause neurodegenerative diseases by inducing abnormal folding of normal cellular proteins, particularly in the brain. Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions do not contain nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and are resistant to conventional methods of sterilization. Examples of diseases caused by prions include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease (BSE).
