Because specialized B cells make antibodies that are effective against that particular invader. Therefore, the first time you are infected, you usually get sick.
The time between a pathogen invasion and the first symptoms appearing is called the incubation period. During this period, the pathogen is actively multiplying within the body before symptoms become noticeable.
"Pathogen" means something that causes sickness (path- = suffering, gen- = creation). "HIV" stands for "Human Immunodeficiency Virus," which is a virus which sometimes, in time, causes the disease AIDS ("Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome"). In other words, HIV is the pathogen, and being infected by HIV is the cause of the disease AIDS.The best ways to avoid being infected by HIV is never ever to share needles for drugs, and never ever to have penetrative sex without a condom. If you steer clear of those, as long as you live in part of the world where HIV isn't endemic, you are likely safe from HIV.There is no cure for HIV infection or AIDS, but there are very effective treatments.
A harmless pathogen does not cause harm or illness to its host. It may colonize the body without causing an infection or may cause a mild infection that resolves on its own. Some harmless pathogens can even provide benefits to the host, such as protection against more harmful pathogens.
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
a weaker/dead form of the pathogen is introduced to allow the body to produce the correct antibodies and make a memory-B cell that stimulates a faster immune response if the same pathogen is encountered a second time, preventing a full scale infection and making you "immune" to that pathogen
The time between a pathogen invasion and the first symptoms appearing is called the incubation period. During this period, the pathogen is actively multiplying within the body before symptoms become noticeable.
When the body encounters a pathogen for the first time, the innate immune system responds immediately through physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, and through immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils that engulf and destroy invaders. Simultaneously, the adaptive immune system begins to activate, involving T cells that recognize and attack infected cells, and B cells that produce specific antibodies to neutralize the pathogen. This initial response may take several days to develop, during which the body learns to recognize the pathogen for future encounters. Once the pathogen is eliminated, memory cells are formed to provide a faster and more effective response if the same pathogen is encountered again.
In a way... The secretion of extra saliva signals that it's time to puke. no if the saliva is not infected
During the second exposure to a pathogen, the immune system can mount a quicker and more targeted response due to immunological memory. This is because the immune system has already encountered the pathogen before and has memory cells ready to recognize and respond more efficiently to the pathogen. This results in a faster and more effective clearance of the pathogen from the body.
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.
A vector is an organism that can carry pathogen(= disease causing organism) from infected plant to a health plant. Generally, a vector is an insect, a nematode, a fungi, or insect like organisms e.g. spider mites. To qualify as vector, the organism must have the ability to acquire the pathogen, must be able to retain the pathogen for some length of time and lastly it must be able to inject it into a suitable/susceptible plant. The relationships between the vector and pathogen can be described as simple if the pathogen does not circulate or replicate in the vector or complex if the pathogen replicates or circulate in the vector. In the latter case, the vector also acts as the host of the pathogen.
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.
Yes. It doesn't matter whether you are a virgin or not; you can get AIDS from unprotected sex with an infected person the very first time. Use a condom EACH AND EVERY TIME.
One-third of women who are infected for the first time during pregnancy, the parasite infects the placenta and enters the fetal circulation.
it depends
It was a cover of the song "So Sick" he made on the Statford Idol contest. But his very first video as an artist was "One Time" ;)
who was the first person to provide employees with paid sick and vacation time as well as a five-day work week.
