What else can I help you with?
What consists of pathogens that have been weakened or killed but can trigger the immune system?
eons
The preparation of dead or weakened pathogens that causes the immune system to produce anitbodies?
vaccine
When can organisms most often develop diseases?
Organisms can develop diseases most often when their immune system is weakened or compromised, allowing pathogens to invade and multiply. Factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and exposure to harmful substances can all contribute to a weakened immune system and increase susceptibility to disease. Additionally, contact with other diseased organisms or environments containing pathogens can also lead to disease development.
What is the difference between pathogens and opportunistic organisms?
Pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease in a healthy host, whereas opportunistic organisms are typically harmless, but can cause infection in hosts with weakened immune systems. Pathogens are generally more virulent and cause disease more readily than opportunistic organisms.
What body's ability can destroy pathogens before they can cause disease?
The immune system can destroy pathogens before they can cause disease. It does this through mechanisms such as the production of antibodies, activation of immune cells like T cells and macrophages, and the release of cytokines to trigger an immune response against the pathogens.
Which is your body and rsquos ability to destroy pathogens that it has previously encountered before these pathogens can cause disease?
Immunity.
If we are surround by pathogens why don't we die of disease?
Because our bodies have evolved to defend ourselves from these pathogens. We have an "immune system".
What is a damaged or weakened pathogen?
A damaged or weakened pathogen is one that has been altered in a way that reduces its ability to cause disease. This can be achieved through processes like heat treatment or genetic modification. These weakened pathogens can be used in vaccines to stimulate an immune response without causing illness.
How did disease help the Spanish conquer natives?
Diseases from Europe that the Spanish were immune to affected and weakened the natives.
What is the introduction of altered antigens to produce an immune response?
Introduction of altered antigens involves exposing the immune system to modified versions of antigens to trigger an immune response without causing disease. This approach can be used in vaccine development to stimulate immune memory and protection against specific pathogens or diseases. Altered antigens can include weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens, as well as genetically engineered antigens.
What diseasecausing agents such as viruses bacteria and worms called?
Disease-causing agents like viruses, bacteria, and worms are called pathogens. They can invade the body and cause illnesses by disrupting normal bodily functions and triggering immune responses.
What disease causes the body to attack pathogens and its normal cells?
Auto-immune
