The answer would depend on the specific list of diseases provided. However, prion diseases include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, and mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). Diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria are not caused by prions but by viruses or bacteria. Identifying whether a particular disease is prion-related requires knowledge of its causative agent.
