Which type of disease does a pathogen cause infectious or noninfectious?
A pathogen causes infectious disease. For instance, influenza virus is the pathogen that causes flu.
What effect does the vaccine have on the body?
A vaccine contains the pathogen ( a foreign body which causes diseases/illnesses) which the virus is designed to provide protection for ie: a flu vaccine will contain a flu virus, measles has the measles virus etc... - but they have been treated so they are in effect dead and so will cause no symptoms, your body can only recognise a pathogen, it does not know that it is dead and can not harm you,so your body produces antibodies ( cells that fight off and remove pathogens from the body) to fight this vaccine, the antibodies remain in the body forever (unless you have an autoimmune/immunodeficiency illness) so when you come into contact with say the flu your body already has the antibodies and you don't get sick because your body removes the pathogen before it gets chance to take hold.
How can you tell if your body has detected the presence of a pathogen in your body?
for a single pathogen ... you can't. In fact you can't ever detect the "detection" process. But you can feel when your immune system is responding to pathogens: you secreat inferon and that gives you the shivers (fever), and that rotten, worn-out feeling that we refer to as "flu".

Can you get rid of Swine Flu from your body?
You can't, but your body can (if you are otherwise healthy) by its use of the immune system's response to the pathogen, and your organs that help with the removal of the potentially toxic wastes involved with fighting the infection.
Is flu a pathogen?
