Herd immunity acquired indirectly from interactions between the ecology of infectious diseases, demography and economics.
Patterns of morbidity and mortality around the globe are determined by interactions between infectious diseases and systematic human socioeconomic processes. The most obvious of these patterns is that the greatest burdens of infectious diseases are found among the poor, who lack the basic resources for disease prevention and treatment. Yet, it is becoming increasingly clear that many infectious...
متن کاملAcquired immunity to infectious diseases in fish: implications for the interpretation of fish disease surveys
Fish disease surveys form a part of many biological monitoring programmes in European marine waters. Prevalence patterns of infectious diseases within wild fish populations are strongly influenced by the acquisition of immunity in individual fish. Hence, the interpretation of observed prevalence patterns requires understanding of the role of acquired immunity and immunomodulation in disease pop...
متن کاملCellular Immunity-Pathogen Interactions in Infectious Diseases
The interactions among host immunity, pathogens, and environment are ever-going process of disease and health. In nature, there is an ongoing equilibrium between infectious agents and their susceptible host organisms. While challenge of immune-competent individuals to low pathogenic strains usually results in elimination of the infectious agent, the other host-pathogen matches generally produce...
متن کاملInterferon Lambda: Modulating Immunity in Infectious Diseases
Interferon lambdas (IFN-λs; IFNL1-4) modulate immunity in the context of infections and autoimmune diseases, through a network of induced genes. IFN-λs act by binding to the heterodimeric IFN-λ receptor (IFNLR), activating a STAT phosphorylation-dependent signaling cascade. Thereby hundreds of IFN-stimulated genes are induced, which modulate various immune functions via complex forward and feed...
متن کاملEffects of Prolactin on Innate Immunity of Infectious Diseases
Prolactin (PRL) hormone has been considered as a cytokine able to modulate immune response in mammals. In addition, particular effects of this hormone on inflammatory response have been documented in autoimmune diseases, whereas its effects on innate immune response during infectious diseases are in general, unknown. The objective of this review is to present the state of art in the role of PRL...
