What else can I help you with?
How long are you immune to dengue once infection 1st time is cleared?
After a primary dengue infection, immunity typically lasts for several months to a few years, but it is not lifelong. While the body develops antibodies that provide some protection against the same serotype of the virus, this immunity does not extend to other dengue serotypes. Subsequent infections with different serotypes can lead to more severe forms of the disease, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever. Therefore, it is important to remain cautious even after recovering from a primary infection.
Why would you not suffer any symptoms if you are exposed to the infection again?
With SOME diseases (not all of them) once you are exposed to the disease your body develops an immunity to that disease.
The type of immunity that develops as a result of natural exposure to an antigen in the environment is?
Natural immunity.
When is inmate immunity acquired?
It develops as the embryo develops into a fetus, since you are born with these defenses.
What is the term for a state of Resistance to an infection?
The term for a state of resistance to an infection is "immunity." Immunity can be either innate, which is the body's natural defense mechanism, or adaptive, which develops over time as the immune system responds to specific pathogens. This state helps protect the body from diseases and infections by recognizing and neutralizing harmful agents.
Is a type of immunity that develops from exposure to an antigen. This exposure results in production of antibodies.?
Active Immunity
Is it true that the immunity your body develops to protect you from disease is called passive immunity?
No, that is temporary immunity received from another person or from antibodies.
What are four types of immunity?
The four types of immunity are innate immunity, adaptive immunity, passive immunity, and active immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens. Adaptive immunity develops over time and involves a specific response to pathogens, including the production of antibodies. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another, such as from mother to child, while active immunity refers to the immune system's response to a vaccine or infection, leading to long-lasting immunity.
What is the acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease is?
The response to infections is active or cellular immunity. Acquired immunity
The type of resistance that develops as a result of developing a disease?
Naturally acquired active immunity
What is passive for artificial immunity?
Passive artificial immunity involves the introduction of antibodies from an external source to provide immediate protection against pathogens. This is typically achieved through the administration of immunoglobulin injections or monoclonal antibodies. Unlike active immunity, which develops through exposure to an antigen and the subsequent immune response, passive immunity offers temporary protection as the body does not produce its own antibodies. This method is often used in situations where immediate immunity is required, such as after exposure to certain infections or in immunocompromised individuals.
What are the two components of specific immunity?
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection
