Viroids are small, infectious RNA molecules that lack a protein capsid. They are similar to the infectious particles of fungi, which also have RNA genomes and lack a capsid. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and have a protein capsid. Enveloped viruses have an outer lipid membrane surrounding their protein capsid. Prions are misfolded proteins that can cause disease. Lysogens are bacterial cells that have a dormant, integrated virus in their genome.
