-transmission of pathogens in both plants and animals (direct/indirect);
-the plant defence system (physical/chemical defences and the production of callose and lignin);
-types of immunity;
-the non-specific (innate) immune response (physical defences, inflammation, blood clotting (thrombosis) and phagocytosis);
-the specific (acquired) immune response (clonal selection, clonal expansion, antibody secretion and antibody structure, primary/secondary responses);
-natural/artificial active/passive immunity and vaccination;
-autoimmune diseases;
-treating and preventing disease (medicines and antibiotics).
