Direct disease transmission
is when a pathogen is transmitted directly from one host to another. e.g: kissing, touching.
Airborne
disease transmission is when pathogens are spread by
airborne particles
, such as droplets or aerosols. E.g: coughing, sneezing.
Indirect disease transmission
is when a vector carries a pathogen from one host to another. E.g: contaminated surfaces, cholera.
specific immune responses is recognises and coordinates attacks against specific
pathogens.
non-specific immune responses
is the body's response to a wide variety of
antigens.
primary immune response
is the first response to a pathogen and is
immediate
and
specific.
secondary immune response
is the response of the immune system to a secondary infection.
Cytotoxic
cells are involved in directly killing
intracellular
pathogens and eliminating
mutated
and
cancerous
cells.
Cell-mediated immunity
, unlike humoral immunity, does not rely on
antibodies
to perform adaptive immunological activities.
