I am studying a species of octopus and find that some individuals have more resistance (immunity) to a common skin disease than others. I hypothesize that immunity will trades off with investments in other major life history traits. I predict that if I sample skin cells from different octopi in the wild, and assay them for immunity, females with higher immunity will produce fewer eggs. Which of the figures below would be the best choice for showing my prediction? B KA A A B

From: "Towards a universal flu vaccine" Researchers are trying to create a universal influenza vaccine - one that can confer %3D immunity to all, or nearly all, strains of influenza virus. The universal vaccine will target a stable antigen that is present on all influenza viruses that does not readily mutate to different forms. The target researchers are focusing on as a universal stable antigen is on the... The H spike head. O H spike neck N spike O Viral envelope
Measles is caused by an extremely infectious virus. Use the herd immunity equation to calculate the proportion of the population that needs to be immune in order to effectively halt the spread of measles via herd immunity. The Ro of the measles virus is 18 and the vaccine is 97% effective. Enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percentage. Round to the nearest 4 decimal places (example: 0.3568). It is recommended you do not round between calculation steps.
What is herd-immunity ? How do vaccinations protect ? Have you gotten Covid-19 vaccine now that it is widely available? Why/why not?
While visiting your third cousin twice-removed in India, you find out that many individuals in the country don't acquire the same vaccinations you received in the US, such as DTaP. You are concerned about herd immuninity. Your third cousin twice removede's girlfriend can't join you for dinner. She has a low grade fever, malaise, and a sore throat for 3-4 days. She said she'll be fine to join the two of you tomorrow, but you decline thew visit. Your third-cousin twice removed said her breath was kickin' and he knew something was up with her earlier that morning. a. What would be a possible cause of her illness? b. What specimen should be collected to determine the illness? c. List three tests that should be collected to determine the cause? d. What bacterium might be to blame for the illness? e. What further complication might ensure if the condition is not treated? f. List two typical treatments.
Historically , vaccinations have prevented the spread of certain diseases chicken pox or meningitis. What type of externality takes place with th consumption of such vaccines. Explain with words and a graph.
1)Herd immunity works by increasing resistance to the spread of an infectious agent when a high proportion of individuals have developed immunity. true or false? 2) The fact that communicable diseases are no longer among leading causes of death in the U. S. has led many Americans to become complacent about obtaining vaccinations true or false?
Some primitive organisms, such as invertebrates, have no lymphocytes and thus lack an adaptive immune system, but they have somecomponents of an innate immune system, including phagocytes andcertain protective proteins. What are some general features of innateimmunity that make it very valuable to organisms lacking more specific antibody- and cell-mediated responses? What are some disadvantages to having only an innate immune system?
Each year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publish a schedule of recommended vaccinations for infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Parents may refuse recommended vaccinations for their infant, child, or adolescent based on religious or philosophical beliefs or fears regarding the safety of vaccines. What ethical principles need to be considered when dealing with patients and their families who refuse recommended vaccines? How would you approach a parent who refuses the recommended vaccines for their 2-month old infant due to the fear that vaccines can cause autism?
For some time there has been evidence that the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine provides protection not only against the target disease (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), but also enhances responses to other infections (such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans). Do you think the enhanced response to other infections, as described, is due to innate responses to the vaccine or adaptive responses? Explain your answer.
Herd immunity means that the entire population (not just those who are vaccinated) are protected from a disease. What is one way that herd immunity protects an unvaccinated person (such as an infant who is too young to be vaccinated or a person who is immunocompromised)?
Sponges display nonspecific immunity. In an experiment, the cells of two different sponges were mixed and placed within a petri dish. The cells from each sponge sorted and arranged themselves together according to organism. What does this characteristic demonstrate? A. Sponges have memory T-cells and share a more recent common ancestor with vertebrates than other invertebrates. B. The experiment provides evidence for the speed of evolution and the use of specific immunity within the organism. C. Sponges have an ability to recognize their own cells as a characteristic of acquired immunity. D. Sharing genetic information from cell to cell is possible by means of receptors and protein-lined pits.
