REPLICATION. “Viruses are genetic material encased in protein. They self-replicate and cause disease. Prions are just proteins. They self-replicate and cause disease. How viruses and prions work. Self-replication by hijacking or inducing mis-folding, respectively, might not be what biologists have in mind for self-replication, but the end result is still more virus particles and prions in the world.”
