Acquired 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 کاملThe Unspecific Side of Acquired Immunity Against Infectious Disease: Causes and Consequences
Acquired immunity against infectious disease (AIID) has long been considered as strictly dependent on the B and T lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system. Consequently, AIID has been viewed as highly specific to the antigens expressed by pathogens. However, a growing body of data motivates revision of this central paradigm of immunology. Unrelated past infection, vaccination, and chronic infe...
متن کاملHerd 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 کاملImmunity: The Immune Response to Infectious and Inflammatory Disease
Immunity provides a succinct and straightforward approach to appreciating a complex biological system ridden with intricacies — the immune response. The aim of the text is to guide the readers through the building blocks of the immune system in both health and disease. The early sections of the book detailing the functioning of both the innate and adaptive arm of the immune system provide a fra...
متن کاملInfectious Disease Control by Vaccines Giving Full or Partial Immunity
We use a simple Lotka-Volterra model of the disease transmission process to analyse the dynamic population structure in two scenarios. Firstly a vaccine is available on the market at a constant price through time. Secondly, the vaccine is publicly provided. The vaccine works either by giving partial or full immunity to the disease. We analyse market provision for vaccines providing partial immu...
