Learners examine spread between animals and preventive measures, including hygiene, food and water safety, handwashing, and barrier protection. The immune response is developed through WBC types, antigen recognition, antibody production, vaccination and herd immunity, plus treatments and antibiotic resistance.","GCSE Biology (Separate Science)  \nSuccess Criteria: Communicable Disease  \n| I can… |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Explain that health is affected by disease. good health = no disease. Diseases can affect mental health as well as physical health. |  |\n| Categorise diseases as communicable and non-communicable. |  |\n| Define the term communicable disease as a disease caused by a pathogen (harmful microorganism including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protist) that can be passed between individuals. |  |\n| Understand that not all microorganisms are harmful, and that some are even beneficial, to human health. |  |\n| Define non-communicable disease as a disease that can not be spread between organisms. |  |\n| Describe how communicable diseases can be spread between animals (pathogens gaining entry to the body via cuts in the skin, animal bites, bites by insects (vectors), ingesting contaminated food/drink, inhaling and sexual contact) |  |\n| Explain how the spread of communicable diseases between animals can be reduced/prevented (including coughing/sneezing hygienically, thoroughly cooking food/ drinking clean (boiled/chemically treated) water, washing hands with antiseptic, using condoms, not sharing needles, protection from animal/insect bites) |  |\n| Describe generally how pathogens cause disease (including gain entry into body, rapidly multiply, produce toxins/waste products, damage host cells) Understand that there may be an incubation period following infection before symptoms appear, during which time pathogens reproduce to significant numbers. |  |\n| Describe the method of reproduction for bacteria (binary fission=splitting in two) and viruses (inject viral DNA into host cell, host cell then produces lots of new viruses, viruses then burst out of host cell destroying it and each new virus goes on to infect other cells) |  |\n| Identify examples of human diseases caused by each type of pathogen. Describe the general symptoms of each disease and how the pathogen is spread.\u003Cbr>• Measles-virus. fever and a red skin rash, serious illness that can be fatal if complications arise, spread by inhalation of droplets from sneezes and coughs.\u003Cbr>• HIV-virus. Initially flu like symptoms, attacks body's immune system, leads to AIDs. Spread by sexual contact/exchange of body fluids\u003Cbr>• Salmonella-bacterial. Fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. Spread by contaminated food\u003Cbr>• Gonorrhoea-bacteria. Thick yellow discharge from vagina or penis, pain when urinating. Spread by sexual contact.\u003Cbr>• Athlete’s foot-fungi. Scaly itchy rash often between toes. Spread by direct contact or contact with contaminated surfaces\u003Cbr>• Malaria-protist. fever, tiredness, vomiting, and headaches. Spread by mosquitos (vector) |  |\n| Identify the main non-specific (primary) defence mechanisms of the body to pathogen invasion (including skin barrier, stomach acid, mucus in airways and enzymes in tears and ear wax. ) |  |\n| Describe the role of platelets in forming a scab at a wound site. (platelets form network of fibres to trap RBCs and form a clot to seal the wound) |  |\n\n\n| Identify the two main types of WBC and describe their function. (phagocytes engulf and digest invading pathogens, lymphocytes produce specific proteins to attack pathogens (antibodies) and neutralise toxins (antitoxins)) |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Explain that WBCs recognise pathogens as ‘foreign’ or ‘non-self’ by the shape of the antigen proteins on the surface of the pathogen. |  |\n| Describe the stages of an immune response (including time to identify the lymphocyte that makes the correct shaped antibody for the foreign antigen, cloning the lymphocyte to enable large amounts of the antibody to be produced, antibodies released into blood to attach to antigens and prevent pathogens from functioning, phagocytes engulfing the pathogens) |  |\n| Explain how immunity is gained following initial infection (correct lymphocyte found more quickly and correct antibodies made to destroy pathogens BEFORE t","cbCaik07GKa3RYsj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik07GKa3RYsj","pdf",285897,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Success Criteria: Communicable Disease\n## Communicable vs non-communicable disease\n## Pathogens and how diseases spread\n## Preventing and reducing spread\n## Pathogens causing disease and incubation period\n## Bacteria and virus reproduction\n## Examples of human diseases by pathogen type\n## Body’s primary defences\n## WBC types and immune response stages\n## Gaining immunity, vaccines and herd immunity\n## Treatments and antibiotic resistance\n## Developing new drugs and clinical testing\n# Monoclonal Antibodies (Separate Sciences GCSE ONLY)","[{\"question\":\"What is a communicable disease and how is it different from a non-communicable disease?\",\"answer\":\"A communicable disease is caused by a pathogen that can be passed between individuals.
