Across
- 3. Occurs when a large number of animals in a group become immune to a pathogen
- 6. organism responsible for causing diseases upon entering the body
- 12. Live organisms responsible for providing health benefits
- 13. Measures taken to prevent the introduction or spread of a pathogen
- 15. Alteration of the body or body organs which interrupts the body's functions
- 17. Ability to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies
- 18. Factors responsible for making an animal more suspectable to disease
- 19. Structure on the surface of a pathogen responsible for attaching to receptors on immune cells
- 20. Vaccine which contains a weakened live version of the pathogen which can replicate once in animal's body
Down
- 1. Organism which lives in or on another organism and obtains nutrients at the expense of the host; also responsible for causing a disease
- 2. Study of disease
- 4. Spore producing organism which feeds on organic matter and is responsible for causing a disease
- 5. Study of causes of diseases
- 7. Single celled microorganism varying in shape and size, responsible for causing a disease
- 8. Body's ability to maintain an interval environment through adjustments of biochemical and physical pathways
- 9. Inanimate objects which carry pathogens until the object touches something else
- 10. Infectious agent made of a piece of genetic code protected by a coating of protein which can cause a disease
- 11. Protein responsible for neutralizing or destroying and toxin-producing organisms
- 14. Substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against disease
