Viruses are not cells and cannot divide. They infect a host cell and use the host’s replication processes to produce identical progeny virus particles. Viruses infect organisms as diverse as bacteria, plants, and animals and exist in a netherworld between a living organism and a nonliving entity. Living things grow, metabolize, and reproduce.

Examples include CJD and BSE. It highlights that prions are protein-only phenomena and contrasts them with other diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which involve non-transmissible amyloid deposits.
