Diseases caused by pathogens are called?
N/aA pathogen by definition is a disease causing organism
What does it means to be a pathogenic organism?
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
What is the pathogen that causes Mad Cow Disease?
A prion, or misfolded protein caused by genetic mutation.
What is the pathogen composed only of protein?
The pathogen composed only of protein is known as a prion. Prions are infectious agents that cause neurodegenerative diseases by inducing abnormal folding of normal cellular proteins, particularly in the brain. Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions do not contain nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and are resistant to conventional methods of sterilization. Examples of diseases caused by prions include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease (BSE).
Which pathogen is a packet of RNA or DNA with a protein coat?
That would be a virus.

How does a DNA vaccine prevent future disease?
A DNA vaccine contains DNA from a pathogen but cannot cause disease. When the vaccine is injected into a patient, the DNA directs the synthesis of a protein. Antibodies are produced by the body against the protein. If the patient contracts the disease in the future, the antibodies in his or her body will be able to provide protection.
How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?
The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. As it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.

What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody

What are the dieases caused by water?
Diarrhoea Cholera Dysentery these are most common and harmful diseases caused by water. Q. What are the dieases caused by water? A. Water diseases are very harmful so as uncooked food or meat. The water disease is also called water borne diseases. Well, few of them that i know are : Disease : Adenovirus Infection Pathogen : Adenoviridae virus Causes : Drinking contaminated water Disease : Amebiasis Pathogen : Entamoeba histolytica parasite Causes : Fecal matter of an infected person (ingested from a pool or an infected water supply) Disease : Cholera Pathogen : Vibrio cholerae bacteria Causes : Contaminated drinking water, rivers and coastal waters Disease : E. Coli Pathogen : Escherichia coli bacteria Causes : Undercooked ground beef, imported cheeses, unpasteurized milk or juice, cider, alfalfa sprouts Disease : Giardiasis Pathogen : Giardia lamblia parasite Causes : Swallowing recreational water contaminated with Giardia Disease : Hepatitis A Pathogen : Hepatitis A virus Causes : Ready-to-eat foods, fruit and juice, milk products, shellfish,salads, vegetables, sandwiches, water Disease : Salmonellosis Pathogen : Salmonella bacteria Causes : Poultry, eggs, meat, meat products, milk,smoked fish, protein foods, juice Disease : Vibrio Infection Pathogen : Vibrio parahaemolyticus,Vibrio vulnificus bacteria Causes : Raw shellfish, oysters Disease : Viral Gastroenteritis Pathogen : Calicivirus virus Causes : Water, ready-to-eat foods (salad, sandwiches, bread) shellfish

What are protein domains in protein functions?
Forming tendons
Which of the following is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein. Viruses can infect living organisms and hijack their cellular machinery to replicate and spread.
