HIV and what other pathogen is known to significantly suppress the immune system for an extended period of time
Other pathogens that is known to significantly suppress the immune system are:- Mycobacterium lepreae, Respiratory syncytial virus, reovirus, reticuloendotheliosis virus, chicken infections anemia virus.
Pathogen - induced immunosuppression enhances the disease severity and also hosts become very prone to oppurtunistic infections.

1) What is the difference between non-pathogen, pathogen and opportunistic pathogen? 2)How does HIV affect the immune system? 3)Describe how B-cells and T-cells get activated in the adaptive immune response. 4)Describe how the immune cells can distinguish from self and non-self.
harmless derivative of a pathogen that stimulates the immune system is
How does HIV evade the immune system? What cell does it “Hide” in?
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS, a disease of the immune system that culminates in death. To mount a successful invasion, the HIV virus must bind to a protein known as CCR5 that resides on the surface of immune cells. Individuals that are homozygous for a deletion of the CCR5 gene are completely protected from HIV infection. The CCR5 gene is transcriptionally silenced by Xp1, a negative regulator of CCR5 that is expressed everywhere but the immune system. Given...
An evolutionarily successful human pathogen has to compete with the evolution of our immune system. This drives selective pressure favoring higher mutation rates at antigenic sites to avoid immune recognition. social evolution for lower public health standards. overall low mutation rates in pathogen genomes. high mutation rates of immune cells when infected with pathogens.
Known dangerous pathogens are so important to detect and eliminate that the human immune system has receptors dedicated to recognizing them as foreign. What is the name of these receptors? Select one: A. Gut associated lymphoid tissue O B. Pathogen recognition receptors O C. Major histocompatibility complex class! OD. Pathogen associated molecular patterns E. Interferon receptors
1) Explain in your own words how immune system evasion represents a trade-off for the pathogen. 2) Describe an evolutionary explanation for why the human adaptive immune system has evolved to "react" to the presence of pathogens, rather than always be prepared to recognize and fight off any possible pathogen.
Topic is AIDS 1.) Describe the activity of our immune system against the pathogen 2.) What types of medical treatments exist? Describe how these treatments affect the progression of the disease. 3.) Describe prophylactic measures that can be taken to limit the risk of infection.
Fill in the blank 1.______________________ is the stimulation of the body’s immune system to recognize the pathogen and attack it during any future exposure. 2. The 9/11 events and anthrax letters are examples of _____________________________. 3.
