SCID is an uncommon disease, can be successfully treated if its identified early; otherwise, it is almost always fatal within the 1st year of life.
Answer2: SCID ( Severe Combined Immunodeficiency )is a genetic disease of the immune system. It causes the immune system to essentially shut down which causes the horse to become ill. SCID is also called 'Bubble Boy Disease' in humans due to the need to isolate the patient away from all possible contaminants. In horses the foal usually dies quickly from the disease and is found in Arabians.

How can SCIDS be preventable?
SCIDS could be entirely eliminated by only breeding non carrier stallions and mares.
What is the difference between AIDS and SCIDS?
scid is a genetic disorder while aids is caused by hiv virus
Who is a person with no immune system?
Bubble boy- because you have to live your life in a steryil bubble or be classed as having SCIDS which stands for severe combined immunodeficiency!
What will happen to a person if it has no immune system?
ANS1:HIV ANS2:AIDS ANS3:It's called SCIDS which stands for severe combined immunodeficiency!!! ANS4:HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. You can have the virus and still have a functioning immune system. That would not be entirely wrong, just not the best answer. Newborns tend to be shielded from the virus by the placental barrier. That is not to say that a baby could not be born with full-blown AIDS and thus have an Acquired Immuno-Deficiency...possible, but not likely. The stickiest problem with choosing AIDS as the answer is that the baby would have had to have, at some time prior to the onset of AIDS, an immune system--evidenced by the infection. If there were no T-lymphocytes there would be no AIDS. You can't have a house fire without a house.The best answer to this question is SCIDS because it doesn't require you to present hypothetical conditions that result in the birth of a baby with full-blown AIDS to justify the answer.
What is genetics disorders?
A genetic disorder is something you inherit from birth , it could complicate the person's whole life. ex.(sickle cell anemia,SCIDS,Turner sydrome,ans many many others.)
How does digestion in non ruminant in animals occur?
Digestion is a mechanical, chemical and biological process which liberates oranic and inorganic nutrients from ingested food and liquids. Complex carbohydrates, proteins and other materials are reduced to sugars, amino scids and similar materials. Water, carbobn dioxide, salts, refractory materials and toxic are excreted as waste.Th e process is:Reduction of food by mastication with the addition of salivary digestive enzymes.Mixing and heating with hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomachExtraction of nutrient values in the gutExtraction of water in the large intestineExcretion of waste.
Is two wheel drive or four wheel drive better?
It's more a question of being different than better.Two wheel driveA two wheel drive car needs fewer moving parts, so it'll be lighter, less expensive and use less fuel. OTOH it'll have less traction, as it's only two wheels pushing.Four wheel driveA four wheel drive car needs more moving parts, so it'll be heavier, cost more, and use more fuel, OTOH with all wheels pushing it'll have better traction.Now, what's better will depend on how you plan to use it.If you're staying on decent roads, not carrying or towing anything, then 4WD will cost you a fair bit, w/o doing you much good.If you're regularly driving on dirt/gravel roads, maybe in the snow, maybe even off-road, then 4WD can be real helpful and possibly worth the extra cost.
