The subject, in fighting off their first bout of measles, developed an antibody specifically effective against measles, and becomes able to reproduce this if re-exposed. The infection is then typically killed off before it becomes symptomatic.

How does your body respond differently the second time it is exposed to a pathogen than the first time it was exposed to that same pathogen?

The second time the body is exposed to the same pathogen, it responds more rapidly and effectively due to the immune system's memory. During the first exposure, the body takes time to recognize the pathogen and develop a specific immune response, producing antibodies and memory cells. Upon re-exposure, these memory cells quickly recognize the pathogen, leading to a faster and stronger production of antibodies. This enhanced response often prevents illness or reduces its severity, a principle underlying vaccination.


How does your body react the second time it is exposed to a pathogen than the second time it was exposed the first time?

The second time your body is exposed to a pathogen, it typically mounts a faster and more effective immune response compared to the first exposure. This enhanced reaction is due to the formation of memory cells during the initial infection, which recognize the pathogen and trigger a quicker production of antibodies. As a result, symptoms are often milder or may not occur at all during the second exposure, thanks to this immunological memory.


Why do you get sick the first time when you are infected with a pathogen?

When you are infected with a pathogen for the first time, your immune system has not been previously exposed to it and needs time to recognize and develop a specific response to fight off the invader. This initial lag in immune response allows the pathogen to replicate and cause symptoms of illness before the immune system can mount an effective defense.


What happens once the body is exposed to pathogen?

The pathogen tries to infect the body. The defense mechanism of the body resists the entry of the pathogen. If pathogen succeeds the infection is established and the body becomes sick.


What best describes what will most likely happen when an individual receives a vaccination containing a weakened pathogen?

We don't have your statements so can't answer your question.


A dead or weakened pathogen used to establish immunity would most likely be found in?

A dead or weakened pathogen used to establish immunity would most likely be found in a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight the pathogen without causing the disease itself. This process helps the body develop a memory for the pathogen, enabling a faster and more effective response if exposed in the future.


How long after being exposed to the ful?

It depends on the specific virus or illness you were exposed to. Symptoms can start to appear as soon as a few days or as long as two weeks after exposure. It's important to monitor your health and seek medical advice if you develop any symptoms.


What are the symptoms of biological exposure?

Symptoms of biological exposure can vary depending on the specific pathogen, but common symptoms may include fever, fatigue, cough, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, and body aches. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have been exposed to a harmful biological agent.


What is the difference between sub-clinical case and case in incubation period?

i m confused whether all sub-clinical cases result in disease or not just like a case going through incubation period who'll have disease some time in future. Is there any definite difference between these two things.


What defenses does your body have that can prevent you from getting sick even when you have already been exposed to a pathogen?

What stage is when a person is exposed to a disease by doesn't show symptoms?

During the incubation period a person is exposed to a disease may not show symptoms


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.
