Answer:

DNA

Prions cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy or also known as "mad cow disease". Prions are spread by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins. When a prion enters a healthy organism, it acts on the normal form of the same type of protein in the organism, modifying it and converting it into prion. This is transmitted replicating shapes in a chain reaction.
