General Information

Traits

The unique trait that Prion has in Plague Inc is Neural Atrophy, which is like Genetic Hardening, slowing down cure research. Evolved traits will take longer to take effect, thus Prion will act slower than other pathogens.

Trivia

Devolving Neural Atrophy will cause the cure effort to speed up, if there is any.
Real life prions do not contain any DNA or RNA and can thus not evolve in the way typical pathogens like bacteria and viruses do. They are, effectively, only malfunctioning proteins.
- Additionally, in real life, Prions cannot be cured, but to keep in balance with the game it is also vulnerable to the cure like the other diseases.

+==Traits==
+The unique trait that Prion has in Plague Inc is [[Neural Atrophy 1|Neural Atrophy]], which is like [[Genetic Hardening 1|Genetic Hardening]], slowing down cure research. Evolved traits will take longer to take effect, thus Prion will act slower than other pathogens.
-==Description==
+==Trivia==
+*Devolving Neural Atrophy will cause the cure effort to speed up, if there is any.
-A slow, subtle and complex pathogen in the brain - it is much harder to notice and cure. Disease takes longer to react to new evolutions.
+*Real life [[wikipedia:Prion|prions]] do not contain any DNA or RNA and can thus not evolve in the way typical pathogens like bacteria and viruses do. They are, effectively, only malfunctioning proteins.
+** Additionally, in real life, Prions cannot be cured, but to keep in balance with the game it is also vulnerable to the cure like the other diseases.

-==Traits==
-The unique trait that Prion has in Plague Inc is [[Neural Atrophy 1|Neural Atrophy]], which is like [[Genetic Hardening 1|Genetic Hardening]], slowing down cure research. The prion also seems to spread slightly slower than most other standard plague types, and as noted in the game, the disease takes longer to react to new evolutions.

-*Real life [[wikipedia:Prion|prions]] do not contain any DNA, being only proteins. However, in the game, there is a message "Prion DNA detected", a possible oversight by the developer.

-*It is also implied that Prions are contagious, when in reality they do not spread unless a person has prolonged exposure to or has ingested part of the corpse of a person with a prion.
+pr2.png|Stage 2
-*Prions are responsible for causing Mad Cow Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru disease.
+pr3.png|Stage 3
-*Prions in reality are incurable and can be sporadic or inherited. However, treatments such as antibodies may  be used to treat or cure a prion. So the cure may actually be antibody drugs. Such evidence for cure can be found here: http://www.prionalliance.org/2014/02/04/what-are-the-potential-treatments-for-prion-disease/
