What is the difference between a true pathogen and an opportunisticpathogen?a. True pathogens cause a disease in the presence of immunosuppressionwhereas opportunistic pathogens do not.b. Opportunistic pathogens develop virulence properties whereas truepathogens do not. c. The diseases associated with true pathogens may vary in presentationranging from mild to severe infections whereas opportunistic pathogensalways present in severe form.d. True pathogens cause disease in healthy individuals whereasopportunistic pathogens typically cause disease in clients who areimmunocompromised.

Which of the following best explains why vaccination of humans against rabies can be delayed until after exposure to a potential source of infection? A) Antibody responses are more rapid than those against other viruses B) T lymphocyte responses are more rapid than those against other viruses C) The virus does not infect any cells for several weeks or months D) The virus does not reach i target organ for several weeks or months

Select all of the following that applies to the tradeoff between transmission and virulence that applies to many diseases. a) The tradeoff between transmission and virulence means that diseases always evolve to become more virulent. b) If greater virulence limits transmission, that disease will likely evolve to become less virulent than it could be. c) While making more copies of itself can increase the likelihood of transmission occurring, too much replication of the disease can make the host so sick it won't leave the house and spread the disease. d) A strain of a disease that replicates enough to be transmitted, but not so much that the host gets too sick to move, will be favored by natural selection over strains that either make the host too sick or do not replicate enough to be transmitted. e) If a disease can spread without making its host sick (e.g. when the host is asymptomatic), then the tradeoff between transmission and virulence…
