4. Explain active and passive immunity. (10)

Answer:
Immunity is the ability of the body to resist infection upon exposure to a microorganism or parasite. The
body's various modes of resistance to attack give rise to different terminology to describe the types of
immunity. Generally, there are two types of immunity Active immunity and Passive immunity
Active immunity
Immunity resulting from the development of antibodies in response to the presence of an antigen, as from
vaccination or exposure to an infectious disease. It is a form of long-term acquired immunity that protects
the body against a new infection. In the active immunity, the body produces its own antibodies to defend
against certain antigen. Active immunity may result from having a certain disease once and then getting it
again. For some diseases, a person usually gets them only once, such as the chicken pox.
Passive Immunity

Immunity resulting from antibodies that are transmitted naturally through placenta to a fetus or through a
breast substance (colostrum) from a mother to an infant. Passive immunity is only for a short period.
Passive immunity can also be produced by injecting a drug (antiserum) for treatment or prevention.
