Document Summary

Overall, bacteria, viruses, and parasites can all cause disease in their hosts: however, immune systems are able to regulate or eliminate the majority of pathogens that cause disease. We combat the other pathogens by developing effective drug treatments that eliminate the disease-causing organism or by vaccines that provide protection from infection. Vaccination takes advantage of the immune system, the natural protection that is our main defence against infectious disease: immunis = exempt. A hallmark of the adaptive response includes its memory of previous infections and a much more rapid response to the same pathogen in subsequent infections. Major vertebrates prrs (pattern recognition receptors) include the. Gram-negative bacteria binding protein and beta 1,3-glucan recognition proteins that recognize and bind to common molecules found on many groups of pathogenic organisms rather than recognizing each pathogen species individually. 2015-01-10: plants respond to pathogens in a similar manner.
