Lesson 10: Principles of Vaccination Flashcards
(123 cards)
Immunity to a microbe is usually indicated by the presence of ________ to that organism
antibody
The ability of the human body to tolerate the presence of material indigenous to the
body(“self”), and to eliminate foreign (“non-self”) material.
Immunity
This discriminatory ability provides protection from infectious disease, since most microbes are identified as foreign by the immune system.
Immunity
Example of Natural Active Immunity
Infection
Example of Artificial Active Immunity
Vaccination
Example of Natural Passive Immunity
Maternal antibodies
Example of Artificial Passive Immunity
Monoclonal antibodies
Infection is what type of immunity?
Natural Active Immunity
Vaccination is what type of immunity?
Artificial Active Immunity
Maternal antibodies is what type of immunity?
Natural Passive Immunity
Monoclonal antibodies is what type of immunity?
Artificial Passive Immunity
when vaccination of a portion of population (or herd) provides protection to unprotected individuals
Herd immunity (Community immunity)
T/F: Higher number of immune individuals, the higher likelihood that a susceptible person will come in contact with an infectious agent.
False (lower)
Provides an immunological barrier to the spread of disease in the human herd
Herd immunity (Community immunity)
T/F: On-going immunization programme will keep the herd immunity at a very high level.
True
Ways for acquiring active immunity
- Following clinical infection
- Following immunization with an antigen
once an animal recover from infectious diseases, they may have lifelong immunity to that disease. E.g. chickenpox, canine parvovirus, and rinderpest
Following clinical infection
Give examples of infectious diseases that may have lifelong immunity once an animal recover
chickenpox, canine parvovirus, and rinderpest
Vaccines interact with the immune system and produce an immune response similar to that produced by the natural infection, but they do not subject the recipient to the disease and its potential complications.
Following immunization with an antigen
it gives the animal body the means to defend itself against a biological
attack before it occurs
Immunization
deffirentiate active immunization and passive immunization,
In active immunization, the process consists of stimulating the immune
system by means of a vaccines while avoiding the consequences associated with natural infection. In passive immunization, the process involves a transfer of antibodies, called immune globulins, from an immunized subject to a non
immunized one
the process consists of stimulating the immune system by means of a known and controlled immunizing product (vaccines) while avoiding the consequences associated with natural infection
active immunization
the process involves a transfer of antibodies, called immune globulins, from an immunized subject to a non immunized one
passive immunization
is a biological product manufactured from a whole bacterium or virus
vaccine
