You may not realize it, but your body is like a fortress, designed to defend you from tiny foreign invaders known as pathogens. This seemingly small world is actually super diverse, and sometimes super dangerous too. That-s why in this episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science, we-re going to get familiar with all different types of pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and more! This episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science was produced by Complexly in partnership with Operation Outbreak and the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard-with generous support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation

It's really weird considering all these defences that any human being can carry a baby to term. The body must work full-time to suppress the immune response to not harm the baby. Since we can get ill and well again during pregnancy the body must also be able to compartmentalize the immune response: fight the germs yet keep the baby safe.
Would be brilliant to know how to do that in transplant medicine: fight germs yet keep the donated organ(s) safe. Mind boggling.

OH MY GOODNESS Crash Course you have absolutely NO idea what this series means to me. I literally just started doing my year-end project on the Immune System and I've been scrambling around for material!
THANK YOU! for the resources, the video, everything!

2: 22 - don't you mean guts/intestines, especially the large intestine? From what I've found, very few bacteria can survive in a human stomach and the ones that do aren't very friendly.

Thank you for talking about cytokines! I feel like they are always forgotten about but are key players in the immune system - an immunology intern studying cytokines: )

Did anyone else (who isn't in an immunology class) think that malaria was a virus and not a protozoa? I love Crash Course for helping me learn new things!

Quote I heard from a neurosurgeon regarding a patient with a prion disease: -That was the only time I ever triple-gloved for an operation-

8: 39 for any Cells at Work fans, the cytotoxic T cells are the same as the killer T cells in the show. Same thing, different name.
