Across
  1. 3. Common modification of host immune response
  2. 6. Cell with functions including antigen presentation, phagocytosis, tissue reorganization and wound healing and secretion of cytokines, enzymes and other factors
  3. 7. Average number of parasites per sampling unit
  4. 8. Specialized tissues capable of recognizing and protecting against non-self invaders
  5. 9. PMN associated with allergic reactions
  6. 11. PMN associated with parasitic disease
  7. 13. Fraction of hosts infected at a given time
  8. 16. Rate of new infections occurring over a unit of time
Down
  1. 1. Branch of immunity responsible for antibody production
  2. 2. Immunity in which pathogen confers the immune response to prevent reinfection but remains in the host unaffected
  3. 4. Engulfment of small parasites
  4. 5. Quantity of parasites in infected hosts
  5. 10. May result from chronic inflammation if the immune system attempts to wall off a parasite
  6. 12. Immune system does not completely rid the host of a pathogen, but the host recovers from disease symptoms and is resistant to further challenge
  7. 14. Branch of the immune response that is specific and has memory
  8. 15. Non-specific second tier of the immune response
