Pathogens are not

  •     Most of the parasites

  •     Result in morphological and functional damage

  •    Have to adapt to life within the environment of host

  •    They are of four types- bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoans

Typhoid is

  • Caused by a bacterium which infects only the small intestine by means of food and water that is contaminated

  • Caused by protozoan which infects small intestine by means of contaminated water and food and then migrates to other organs through blood

  • Caused by a bacterium which infects small intestine by means of contaminated water and food and then migrates to other organs through blood

  • Caused by protozoan which infects only small intestine by means of food and water that is contaminated

The most standard HIV screening blood test:

  • Predicts how fast can one develop AIDS

  • Measures the amount of virus in the blood

  • Detects antibodies against the virus

  • Can be done only after appearance of opportunistic infections

Cancer is more common in older because:

  • Their immune systems have degenerated
  • Secretion of certain hormones is decreased
  • Cell replacement is not adequate 
  • They accumulate more mutations

Which parasitic worm can cause lung damage and severe malnutrition?

  • Ascaris
  • Ancylostoma
  • Wuchereria
  • Clonorchis

A normal gene that codes for proteins that help to regulate cell growth and differentiation and can, due to mutations or increased expression, lead to neoplastic transformation of cells, is called as:

  • Oncogene
  • Proto-oncogene
  • V-onc
  • Psuedogene

The early screening test for HIV infection is :

  • ELISA
  • Western Blot
  • Culture of HIV
  • 4, Detection of opportunistic infections

The major histocompatibility complex is a :

  • Series of complement-enhanced reactions to antigens
  • group of antigens, coded by a family of genes, on the surface of body cells 
  • form of autoimmunity 
  • the major cause of cancer

What is incorrect regarding opioids?

  • Their receptors are in CNS and CVS
  • They are generally taken by snorting and injection
  • They are CNS depressants

  • Epidermophyton

Primary lymphatic organs serve as the site for:
