What are the key differences between acute and chronic graft vs host disease?
Acute graft vs host disease occurs within the first 100 days after a transplant and affects the skin, liver, and gut. Chronic graft vs host disease develops later and can affect multiple organs, causing long-term complications.
What is disease-causing microorganisms called?
Disease-causing microorganisms are called pathogens. These can include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can infect and harm the host organism, leading to illness or disease.
What is a parasite, and how does it harm the host organism it lives on or in?
A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism, known as the host, and relies on the host for its survival. Parasites harm the host by feeding on its nutrients, tissues, or blood, which can weaken the host, cause disease, and even lead to death in severe cases.
What is susceptible individual who can harbor the disease called?
A susceptible individual who can harbor the disease is often referred to as a "host." This individual provides an environment for the pathogen to thrive and potentially cause illness. Host factors such as age, immune status, and genetics can influence the likelihood of becoming infected.
What are 2 ways bacteria can make disease?
Bacteria can cause disease by producing toxins that harm the host's cells or by directly invading and damaging host tissues. Additionally, some bacteria can trigger an excessive immune response that leads to inflammation and tissue damage.
What is the difference between carrier of a disease and reservoir host of a disease?
The host doesnt show symptoms and the carrier does
What is Graft versus host disease?
What does the term "Graft versus host disease" mean? Immunologic reaction involving the attack of host cells by donor immune cells.
What is the name for a living thing upon which a disease agent lives and feeds?
The victim of disease or parasites is called the "host" (host organism).
What does blood transfusion graft-vs.-host disease affect?
Blood transfusion graft-vs.-host disease affects mostly the blood.
What are two ways a mosquito may harm is host?
they can irritate the skin and disease the "host".
How do Viral infections reproduce?
It has to have a host cell to reproduce then it kills that cell becausethere are so many viral disease in side the host cell. The Viral disease will continue you to kill host cell until you get an antibiotic
What is host susceptibility?
someone that is exposed to infections disease.
Role of capsule in bacterial disease process?

What suggestion can you give to prevent outbreaks of infectious disease?
Kill anything that could be host to the disease. Without hosts, the disease will not spread.
What is the meaning of host of disease?
The term "host of disease" refers to an organism, typically a human or animal, that harbors a pathogen, such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite, which can cause illness. The host provides the necessary environment and resources for the pathogen to survive, replicate, and potentially spread to others. Understanding the relationship between the host and the disease is crucial for developing effective treatments and prevention strategies.
What transplanted tissues can cause graft-vs.-host disease?
The only transplanted tissues that house enough immune cells to cause graft vs. host disease are the blood and the bone marrow.
Who proposed the grem theory of disease?
The germ theory of disease is the theory that microorganisms are the cause of disease. They spread when the host is exposed to the pathogen by various means.
