Topic: ImmunityAim: How does the immune system protect
the body against disease?
Do Now: 1. Hand in Muscle Fatigue Lab2. Complete questions on the bottom of the
first page of your locomotion notes.
HW: Read pgs. 657-671. Recall notes for the following diseases: AIDS, allergies, cancer. Describe what type of disease, causes and treatment. (Due Wednesday)
Schistosoma mansoni (fluke) is a major parasitic pathogen that causes schistosomiasis.
You can become infected when your skin comes in contact with contaminated freshwater.
Schistosomiasis account for greater than a quarter of a million deaths per annum. Worms not found in the U.S.
Within days after becoming infected, they may develop a rash or itchy skin. Within 1-2 months of infection, symptoms may develop including fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches. Symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis include: abdominal pain, enlarged liver, blood in the stool or blood in the urine, problems passing urine, and increased risk of bladder cancer.
Pathogen•Disease-causing microorganism
•Ex: bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi
How does the body prevent pathogens from entering?
