Does the first exposure to a pathogen result in a much faster immune response than the second exposure to the same pathogen?
After your first exposure to a pathogen, you have memory T-cells that will remember the antigen of the pathogen so in the future if you would come in contact with the same pathogen your body would recognize it right away and be able to kill it much faster.
How are humans related to pathogen?
Pathogens are any organisms that can cause disease in humans; this includes a variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi and proteinaceous infectious material (such as prions). By definition, a human becomes infected with a pathogen through exposure and potentially develops disease related to that infection with a pathogen.
What type of immunity results from direct exposure to a pathogen?
Active acquired immunity - Develops following direct exposure to a pathogen • i.e. measles, chicken pox
What is the amount of antibodies in a person's blood in response to exposure to a pathogen?
titer
Which is not a reason to seek addtional vaccination or immunizations against a pathogen?
Risk of exposure is low
What disease does hemogloblin cause?
Hemoglobin is a normal component of a red blood cell, and is not a pathogen.
Does OSHA have regulations covering job exposure to blood?
Yes, it is called the Bloodborne Pathogen standard.
What best describes how a vaccinations can help protect the body against disease?
An individual is exposed to a killed pathogen, an inactivated pathogen, or a component of a pathogen. The individual is protected from subsequent exposures to the pathogen because the adaptive immune system is stimulated to produce memory B cells and memory T cells, which protect from subsequent exposures.
What is post exposure prophylaxsis?
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is any medical treatment started immediately after exposure to a pathogen especially a virus. For example rabies vaccine is given to humans and animals who been exposed to rabies.. Also tetanus vaccine is given to tetanus exposure. AZT is given for treatment for AIDS exposure.
Which two blood borne pathogen diseases are specifically addressed by 29 CFR 1910.1030 Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens?

In transmission where is a locus where a pathogen can enter?
In medicine, the locus where a pathogen can enter would be any part of the body or surface that is moist. This includes the eyes, the nose and the mouth.
Are viruses pathogen?
Anything that causes disease is considered to be pathogenic. This includes viruses and bacteria. People who come in contact with certain of these organisms may become very ill.
