  • The whole chapter of communicable disease and immunity will be covered in this video. The topics included are:
    -types of pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, protoctista/protists) and their modes of action;
    -named examples of plant and animal diseases (ring rot, tobacco mosaic virus, blight, black sigatoka, tuberculosis, meningitis, HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, ring worm and athlete's foot);
    -transmission of pathogens in both plants and animals (direct/indirect);
    -the plant defence system (physical/chemical defences and the production of callose and lignin);
    -types of immunity;
    -the non-specific (innate) immune response (physical defences, inflammation, blood clotting (thrombosis) and phagocytosis);
    -the specific (acquired) immune response (clonal selection, clonal expansion, antibody secretion and antibody structure, primary/secondary responses);
    -natural/artificial active/passive immunity and vaccination;
    -autoimmune diseases;
    -treating and preventing disease (medicines and antibiotics).
    There are a few technical errors and mistakes in the narration. Reporting them is appreciated.
    All questions and appropriate comments are welcomed.
