Exposure to a disease-causing organism results in which type of immunity?
Exposure to a disease-causing organism typically results in acquired immunity, either through natural infection or vaccination. This type of immunity is specific to that particular organism and provides protection against future encounters with the same pathogen.
What type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
Why does a particular vaccine give immunity against one disease only?
That is a good question! In the vaccine, you have few proteins, that are derived from particular organism only. The antibodies are very specific. They act against the particular proteins only. So from the given vaccine, you get specific antibodies. Those antibodies will act against that particular organism only.
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
What are the two ways that people can be immunized against specific disease?
passive and active immunity
What type of immunity is a lifetime protection in the body against specific pathogens?
active imminity
What is an anarisum?
blood serum containing antibodies against specific antigens; provides immunity to a disease
What is a medicine that produces immunity by generating antibodies?
A vaccine is a medicine that produces immunity by generating antibodies. Vaccines contain weakened or killed germs that stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against specific diseases, providing protection when exposed to the actual pathogen.
What is the role of immunity in disease in animals?
Immunity is the internal protection of an organism from infection with a pathogen. Therefore, immunity (which is typically conferred by the immune system) has the role of protection against disease in animals. However, another aspect of immunity is innate or species-based immunity. This is conferred by the genetics of the species and protects the animal against pathogens that infect other species of animals. For instance, cattle are not susceptible to PRRS virus infection because PRRS is specific for pigs. This is not true of all diseases, however - viruses such as rabies and foot and mouth disease virus can infect multiple species.
What is positive immunity?
If a person's immune system is producing antibodies against a specific antigen, then that person has a positive or active immunity toward that antigen. If a person has merely been injected with antibodies but does not produce them, that is a passive immunity.
How did vaccines contribute to mankind?
vaccination is a process which implies immunity to a person against the disease causing organism so that a person can able to fight against that organism now it helps in eradication of many dreadfull disease like polio and smallpox etc, so it is definitely hellpfull to mankind
What type of immunity may be gained by coming down with a disease?
Acquired immunity: When a person gets sick from a disease, their body produces antibodies to fight off the infection. After recovery, the body retains memory cells that recognize the specific pathogen if it reappears, providing immunity against future infections.
