IDS2935 Exam 2 Study Guide
uses a weakened form of the pathogen that causes a disease - ANSWER what is
a live-attenuated vaccine?
because it uses a small amount of weakened live virus, it can be dangerous for
weakened immune systems, long-term health problems, and organ transplant
recipients - ANSWER what are the limitations of the live-attenuated vaccine?
(Hint: there is 1)
MMR, smallpox, chicken pox, and yellow fever - ANSWER what viruses has the
live-attenuated vaccine been used for?
use the killed version of the germ that causes a disease - ANSWER what is an
inactivated vaccine?
usually doesn't provide as strong of immunity as live vaccines; several doses
over time (booster shots) are recommended for ongoing immunity against
diseases - ANSWER what are the limitations of the inactivated vaccine? (Hint:
there is 2)
Hep A, flu, polio, rabies - ANSWER what viruses has the inactivated vaccine
been used for?
uses specific pieces of the pathogen —like its protein, sugar, or capsid (a casing
around the germ) - ANSWER what is a subunit/conjugate vaccine?
you may need booster shots to get ongoing protection against diseases -
ANSWER what are the limitations of the subunit/conjugate vaccine? (Hint: there
is 1)
Shingles, whooping cough (DTaP), HPV, hep B - ANSWER what viruses has the
subunit/conjugate vaccine been used for?
uses a toxin (harmful product) made by the pathogen that causes a disease;
creates immunity to the parts of the germ that cause a disease instead of the
germ itself - ANSWER what is the toxoid vaccine?
you may need booster shots to get ongoing protection against diseases -
ANSWER what are the limitations of the toxoid vaccine? (Hint: there is 1)
, Diphtheria and tetanus - ANSWER what viruses has the toxoid vaccine been
used for?
contain a small piece of messenger RNA (mRNA) that teaches our cells how to
make a protein that triggers an immune response (mRNA research has been
previously used to target specific cancer cells) - ANSWER what is the mRNA
vaccine?
easy and inexpensive to make —and they produce strong, long-term immunity -
ANSWER what is a DNA vaccine?
acts like a natural infection, so they're especially good at teaching the immune
system how to fight germs - ANSWER what is the recombinant vector (or
platform-based) vaccine?
a situation in which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune to an
infectious disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness) to make its spread
from person to person unlikely. Even individuals not vaccinated (such as
newborns and those with chronic illnesses) are offered some protection
because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community -
ANSWER what is herd/community immunity?
Family Paramyxoviridae, Genus Morbilivirus - ANSWER what family and genus is
measles?
rinderpest and canine distemper viruses - ANSWER what viruses is measles
most closely related to?
Dr. Abu Becr Razi - ANSWER who distinguished measles from smallpox?
early onset fever; conjunctivitis, nose inflammation, and cough; spotted rash
(1st head, then to chest, trunk, limbs; lasting large blotches - ANSWER what is
the disease caused by measles virus marked by?
74 - ANSWER between 2000 and 2010 globally, the measles vaccine caused a
drop of __% in measles deaths
2000 - ANSWER what year did US achieve measles elimination through the MMR
vaccine?
50-100; 1/2; 22,000 - ANSWER annually there is __-__ million cases, __/__
hospitalized, __,___ deaths due to dengue
arthropod virus - ANSWER what kind of virus is dengue fever?
Aedes mosquito bite - ANSWER how is DF transmitted to humans?
