Immunity to viral diseases refers to the body's ability to protect itself against viruses that can cause infections and diseases. It is a complex process that involves the immune system recognizing and attacking foreign viruses to prevent them from causing harm to the body.
The body develops immunity to viral diseases through two processes: natural immunity and acquired immunity. Natural immunity is when the body's immune system recognizes and responds to a virus that it has encountered before. Acquired immunity, on the other hand, is when the body develops immunity after being exposed to a virus through vaccination or previous infection.
No, it is not possible to become immune to all viral diseases. There are thousands of different viruses that can cause diseases in humans, and the body's immune response is specific to each virus. Additionally, viruses can mutate and change, making it difficult for the body to develop long-lasting immunity.
The duration of immunity to viral diseases varies depending on the virus and the individual's immune response. Some viruses, such as the common cold, can cause repeated infections because the body does not develop long-term immunity. Other viruses, like measles, can provide lifelong immunity after infection or vaccination.
Yes, immunity to viral diseases can be passed from mother to child through breast milk or during pregnancy. This is known as passive immunity and provides temporary protection to the child until their own immune system develops. However, this type of immunity does not last long and the child will need to develop their own immunity over time.
