Introducing an innocuous version of a pathogen into the body causes the immune system to produce antibodies, which will neutralize the wild pathogen if it enters the body later.

The causative agent is determined in only 15 of cases with routine microbiological tests.

The virus that causes AIDS is the trickiest pathogen scientists have ever confronted.

But most natural pesticides as well as pathogen laden animal excreta, for use as fertilizer are permitted.

Decreased levels of Wiskott Aldrich syndrome protein and or confirmation of a causative mutation provides the most definitive diagnosis.

One third of the world s population is infected with the causative agent, though only one in ten develops the active disease.

Roughly 15 million people suffer from co infection of HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the primary causative agent in most TB cases.

Policymakers would do well to remember that it only takes one airplane flight for such a pathogen to go global.

There is an association between vasectomy and prostate cancer however more research is needed to determine if this is a causative relationship.

Members of the local Rajneeshpuram commune caused the outbreak by intentionally spraying the pathogen on the salad bars of local restaurants.

Pathophysiology AIHA can be caused by a number of different classes of antibody, with IgG and IgM antibodies being the main causative classes.

A number of cases has been reported in association with particular conditions and situations it is uncertain whether these were in fact causative.

Recently, however, effective methods for amplifying prions have been developed, which could enable detection of the pathogen before it can damage its host.

During the summer of 2003, coral reefs in the Mediterranean Sea appeared to gain resistance to the pathogen, and further infection was not observed.

There are many types of antibiotics and each class inhibits a process that is different in the pathogen from that found in the host.

So what we need is to have a causative model of what's actually going on, and proteomics actually gives us the ability to build a model like that.

The choice of antibiotic will depend on several factors, including the suspected causative organism and whether pneumonia was acquired in the community or developed in a hospital setting.

The panel noted that the current threats had changed, especially in the plant pathogen area, where the perceived threat has changed from large scale to small scale attacks.

Some patients fail to find any apparent causative illness or event in their lives, instead saying the snow came out of nowhere or has been with them for their whole lives.

If, for example, a pathogen is transmitted by an insect that lives in the tops of trees, susceptible hosts will not be infected if they never leave the ground.

Using this technique, potentially all the genes from a pathogen can be delivered at one time, which may be useful for pathogens which are difficult to attenuate or culture.

Vaccinating children against rotavirus, for example, can protect them from a pathogen that is responsible for 37 of all diarrhea deaths in children under five, thus saving 450,000 lives every year.

The significance and economic impact of coronaviruses as causative agents of the common cold are hard to assess because, unlike rhinoviruses (another common cold virus), human coronaviruses are difficult to grow in the laboratory.

Similarly, in the US, there is a lengthy list of specific exceptions to the prohibitions. But most natural pesticides as well as pathogen laden animal excreta, for use as fertilizer are permitted.

WNV is now considered to be an endemic pathogen in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Europe and in the United States, which in 2012 has experienced one of its worst epidemics.

It could depend on the nature of the pathogen different pathogens, using this technique, you'd get different warning or other phenomena that are spreading, or frankly, on the structure of the human network.

3.10.1.4 Aspiration is initiated at the moment of inspiration, in the time required to take one breath, as the causative material lodges at the crossroad of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts in the laryngopharyngeal region.

If you look at the y axis of this graph, you'll see that, in the mechanically ventilated air, you have a higher probability of encountering a potential pathogen, or germ, than if you're outdoors.

In other cases, treating a disease or controlling a pathogen can be vital to preventing its spread to others, such as during an outbreak of infectious disease, or contamination of food or water supplies.

A bird adapted strain of H5N1, called HPAI A(H5N1) for highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1, is the highly pathogenic causative agent of H5N1 flu, commonly known as avian influenza ( bird flu ).

So, if the pathogen doesn't need the host to be healthy and active, and actual selection favors pathogens that take advantage of those hosts, the winners in the competition are those that exploit the hosts for their own reproductive success.

What I'm suggesting here is that we could get evolution working in the direction we want it to go, rather than always having to battle evolution as a problem that stymies our efforts to control the pathogen, for example with anti malarial drugs.
