How does the immune system respond to the invasion of African sleeping sickness?

African sleeping sickness, also known as human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), is usually caused by the parasites trypanosomes. The trypanosomes are important pathogenic protozoa. Protozoa are unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms that lack cell walls. Protozoa usually obtain food by ingesting other organisms or organic particles. In humans, the trypanosomes live and grow primarily in the bloodstream, but in the later stages of the disease, invasion of the central nervous system occurs, causing an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord that is responsible for neurological symptoms of African sleeping sickness. As you may know, our body has two kinds of immunity, cell-mediated (T cell-mediated) immunity and humoral (antibody) immunity, to help us resist infection. The specificity of the antigen-antibody interaction in humoral immunity or antigen-T cell interaction in cell-mediated immunity is very critical in our immune response. Our immune response occurs only AFTER a microorganism interacts with the immune system. The specific immune effectors, either T cells or antibodies, then interact with the invader and destroy it. This capacity for responding to challenge after additional exposure to the same microorganism is known as "memory". Therefore, the antigen is critical in the whole immune recognition. However, trypanosomes have the ability to evade the immune responses by periodically switching their major surface antigens, variant surface glycoprotein (VSG), a phenomenon called antigenic variation. Antigenic variation, we believe, is the major mechanism for the trypanosomes survival in the human body. In some recent studies, scientists showed that several other mechanisms might also help trypanosomes survive. The ability to grow in high levels of interferon-gamma and to avoid complement-mediated destruction may facilitate the parasite's infection.

What are the 3 general classifications of hosts?

Definitive host (DH). A definitive host is an organism that hosts the adult (sexual) form of the parasiteIntermediate host (IH). An intermediate host is an organism that hosts the asexual form of the parasite (only when there is an obligatory passage through the host). Intermediate hosts can be divided into two groups:Passive IH (molluscs in the case of Schistosoma)Active IH (tsetse fly in the case of trypanosomes)Source: http://www.icp.ucl.ac.be/~opperd/parasites/types3.htm

What is secondary zone in active directory?

Secondary zone When a zone that this DNS server hosts is a secondary zone, this DNS server is a secondary source for information about this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained from another remote DNS server computer that also hosts the zone. This DNS server must have network access to the remote DNS server that supplies this server with updated information about the zone. Because a secondary zone is merely a copy of a primary zone that is hosted on another server, it cannot be stored in AD DS.
