Key Knowledge- Reading graphs and correlations
⮚ Risk factors for diseases can be studied by collecting data about the incidence of disease in a population.
⮚ To understand a graph you should make sure you read the graph title and both of the axis labels.
⮚ You may also be asked the describe the trend shown in a graph. This describes how the data changes.
⮚ When data is presented in a scatter graph, we can describe if two variables are correlated.
⮚ A positive correlation is where as one variable INCREASES, the other variable also INCREASES.
⮚ A negative correlation is shown in data where as one variable INCREASES, the other DECREASES.
⮚ If the data closely follows the line of best fit, there is a strong correlation between the variables. If the
data is more spread out, there is only a weak correlation.
⮚ If there is no clear pattern, there is zero correlation between the variables.
⮚ A positive correlation does NOT prove that a risk factor causes a disease, only that there is a link.
Sometimes that link may be caused by an unknown third factor.

REVISION TIP!
For your GCSE biology exam, you are expected to know about seven specific diseases that occur in plants and
animals in detail. These are: MEASLES, HIV, TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS, SALMONELLA, GONORRHOEA, ROSE
BLACK SPOT and MALARIA. You should be able to describe the symptoms of each disease, how they are
transmitted, and also explain how the spread of these diseases can be reduced or prevented. After learning about
each disease, remember to complete the disease summary table on Pages 3-4. The summary table is a helpful
revision tool to keep useful information all in one place and allow you to compare the different diseases more
easily.
⮚ Pathogenic viruses infect cells because they depend on their host to provide the conditions and nutrients to
rapidly make many more copies of themselves.
⮚ Viruses are so small that they live and reproduce inside cells. New copies of the virus are released by bursting
the cell, resulting in cell damage.
⮚ This cell damage, as well as how the body tries to get rid of the virus, causes the symptoms of viral diseases.
⮚ As viruses live inside cells, it is difficult to develop medicines that kill viruses without also damaging the body’s
tissues.
⮚ Antibiotics cannot kill viral pathogens.
Measles
Measles is an unpleasant viral disease showing symptoms of fever and a red skin rash.
Although most infections pass after 7 to 10 days, measles is a serious illness that can be
fatal if complications arise. For this reason most young children are vaccinated against
measles. The measles virus is spread by inhalation of droplets from sneezes and coughs.
7
HIV
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) initially causes a flu-like illness which goes away after a few days. However,
unless successfully controlled with antiretroviral drugs, the virus continues to attack the body’s white blood cells
and immune system. Late stage HIV infection, also called AIDS, occurs when the body’s immune system becomes
so badly damaged it can no longer deal with other infections or cancers, which can then be fatal. HIV is spread by
sexual contact or exchange of body fluids such as blood which occurs when drug users share needles. Someone
who is infected with the HIV virus is called HIV positive.

Lesson 3: Bacterial diseases
Grade Outcomes KEY WORDS
To be able to:
Bacteria
7-9 • Explain in detail how methods to control the spread of salmonella
Salmonella
and gonorrhoea work.
Gonorrhoea
• Explain why antibiotic resistance is a concern for scientists. Antibiotics
Knowledge needed to get there: Antibiotic resistance
• Describe in detail examples of bacterial diseases, their symptoms, how they are Strain
spread and how they are controlled.
• Describe how antibiotics can be used to control bacterial infections.
• State what is meant by antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Watch the video on the PowerPoint and answer the following questions:
1. Write down two examples of bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses.
2. What are the three ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply quickly?
⮚ Bacterial diseases are caused by bacteria infecting the body and reproducing exponentially. Each time bacteria
reproduce by binary fission, the number of cells doubles. Generation time between bacteria can vary, but
some strains will double every 12 minutes!
⮚ The symptoms of these diseases are caused by the toxins (poisons) some bacteria release that damage tissues
and make us feel ill.
⮚ There are not many bacterial diseases of plants, and many only affect tropical species.
⮚ The development of antibiotics has been crucial in treating bacterial infections. Antibiotics kill bacteria or stop
them from growing without harming animal cells.
14
Remember to complete the summary table on Page 4!
Salmonella
Salmonella food poisoning is spread by bacteria ingested in food, or
on food prepared in unhygienic conditions. In the UK, poultry (e.g.
chickens and ducks) are vaccinated against Salmonella to control
the spread when eating eggs. Fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting
and diarrhoea are caused by the bacteria and the toxins they secrete. Symptoms only last for a few days so
antibiotics are not usually prescribed.
Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) with symptoms of a thick yellow or green discharge from the
vagina or penis and pain on urinating. It is caused by a bacterium and was easily treated with the antibiotic
penicillin until many resistant strains appeared. Gonorrhoea is spread by sexual contact. The spread can be
controlled by treatment with antibiotics or the use of a barrier method of contraception such as a condom.
Mastery questions
⮚ Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are medicines that help to cure bacterial disease by killing infective bacteria
inside the body.
⮚ It is important that specific bacteria should be treated by specific antibiotics.
⮚ However, bacteria can evolve to develop resistances to specific antibiotics – the antibiotics are unable to kill
the bacteria and can no longer be used to treat the bacterial infections.
⮚ You will learn about this in more detail in your Evolution topic later this year.
⮚ For now it is important to understand that antibiotic resistance is a concern to scientists because it means
previously treatable infections can potentially be very harmful, even fatal.
⮚ MRSA is an example of a type of bacteria that has evolved antibiotic resistance.
⮚ To reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains:
o Doctors should not prescribe antibiotics inappropriately, such as treating non-serious or viral
infections
o Patients should complete their course of antibiotics so all bacteria are killed and none survive to
mutate and form resistant strains
o Antibiotics used in agriculture (e.g. given to farm animals) should be restricted.

• Describe the role of white blood cells in the defence against disease, including
antibody and antitoxin production, and phagocytosis.
⮚ The body has a number of different ways in which to protect itself against pathogens.
⮚ Each method of defence can work against any pathogen, so they are called non-specific defences.
Nasal hairs filter the air you breathe in, trapping particles that may contain
Nose pathogens in a sticky liquid called mucus. The trapped pathogens are removed
when you blow (or pick!) your nose.
Secrete mucus from specialised goblet cells to trap pathogens inhaled from the air,
as well as being lined with cells that have tiny hair-like projections called cilia. The
Trachea & bronchi
cilia beat to move the mucus away from the lungs back up to the back of the throat
where it can be swallowed.
Acid destroys the microorganisms trapped in mucus and most of the pathogens
Stomach acid
you swallow in food and drink.

Progress check:
1. Which are used as defence mechanisms of the human body against disease? Circle the correct answers:
● Cilia
● Mucus
● Blood plasma
● Bile
● Antibodies
2. Match the defence mechanism to where it is found in the human body by linking them.
23
Key knowledge – The immune system
⮚ Some pathogens will beat the first line of defence and get inside the body. The immune system is designed to
destroy any pathogens that enter.
⮚ The immune system consists of white blood cells that move around in your blood and protect you against
disease.
⮚ They do this in three ways:
2. Releasing antitoxins
3. Releasing antibodies
● Some white blood cells (lymphocytes) produce
proteins called antibodies.
● Pathogens have structures on the surface of their
cells, called antigens. Each type of pathogen has
different antigens.
● When an antibody encounters an antigen it
recognises as a pathogen, the antibody binds to it
and can either attack the pathogen or can stick
groups of pathogens together in clumps, making it
easier for them to be detected and ingested by
other white blood cells.
⮚ Both antitoxins and antibodies are highly specific – they only work against their matching antigen. The white
blood cells that produce them are therefore part of our specific immune response.
24
Mastery questions
1) State the three ways white blood cells help to defend against pathogens.
2) Antibodies are highly specific. What does this mean?
3) What non-specific body defence is the main physical barrier to prevent pathogens entering the body?
4) What is the function of cilia in the trachea and bronchi?
5) Doctors will often advise you not to pick at or pull off scabs if the skin underneath them has not fully
healed. Explain why this is good advice to prevent infections.
EXTENSION: Using examples, explain the difference between a non-specific body defence and a specific
immune response.

• Recall how antibodies and antigens work.
• State what vaccines contain and explain how vaccination works.
TASK 1 - Write the correct keyword next to the definition to create a useful glossary for this lesson.
Cells that are part of the body’s immune system. They defend against infective
pathogens that enter the body.
Protein produced by some white blood cells. They are highly specific and can bind

Found on the surface of pathogens and used by white blood cells to identify
infections. Each type of pathogen has different antigens.
The ability to resist developing symptoms of a particular disease and feeling ill.
A sudden increase in cases of a disease in the same area affecting many people.
⮚ Vaccines introduce a small amount of dead or inactive forms of a pathogen into the body. The vaccine contains
the antigens of the pathogen without the risk of getting the disease.
⮚ The vaccine stimulates the white blood cells to produce specific antibodies to attack the pathogen. This can
take several days.
⮚ If the same pathogen re-enters the body in the future, the white blood cells rapidly respond to produce lots of
the correct antibodies faster.
⮚ The pathogen will be destroyed before it causes a person to feel ill. The person is now immune to the disease.
⮚ Measles is an example of a disease that is effectively controlled by vaccination. In the UK you are
recommended to receive the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) around your first birthday.
28
Worked example
The graph shows the number of measles antibodies in the child’s blood after receiving the MMR vaccine.
Two and half weeks later the child becomes infected with the measles virus from another person.
Describe the changes in antibody production after the vaccination compared with after the infection. Give reasons
for the changes you describe.
o The child receives the MMR vaccine on Day 0, containing dead or inactive forms of the pathogen with
specific antigens. This stimulates the white blood cells to respond by producing antibodies. The antibody
concentration in the body increases.
o The antibody concentration is the highest at around ten days, then decreases.
o At about 19-20 days antibody concentration again increases when the body is infected with the real
pathogen.
o This time the white blood cells produce the correct antibodies faster (steeper gradient) and in larger
quantities. The antibody concentration is higher, and also remains at a high concentration for longer. The
infection is prevented, and the child will not feel ill.
29
EXTENSION: Suggest why it is beneficial to receive vaccinations for the serious diseases found in a country before
you travel abroad.
Key Knowledge – Herd immunity
⮚ As well as providing personal immunity to diseases, vaccinations can also reduce the spread of pathogens in a
population.
⮚ If the majority of a population receive vaccinations and are immunised against a pathogen, it is difficult for the
pathogen to reproduce inside a host and spread to other people before being destroyed. A disease can be
eliminated from a local area, and further epidemics prevented.
⮚ If the pathogen cannot be transmitted easily, even people who have not been vaccinated will be protected
from the disease. This effect is known as herd immunity.
TASK 2
1. Watch the video on herd immunity and answer the following questions:
a) What percentage of the population will be protected against measles after two doses of the vaccine?
c) Write down the groups of people who are protected by herd immunity.
d) Why does herd immunity not protect people against tetanus infections?
2. Sort the following statements into advantages and disadvantages of widespread vaccination:
o Since 1968 when the measles vaccine became available, there has been a 99.9% reduction in the amount
of confirmed cases of measles in the UK.
o Many serious diseases have been declared eliminated from certain regions and countries due to
vaccination efforts. Measles has been declared eliminated from many countries in Europe.
o There is a very small risk of developing unwanted side effects from some vaccines, such as a fever or
swelling.
o Vaccinations have controlled the spread of serious and potentially deadly diseases such as tuberculosis
and polio.
o Vaccinations can prevent serious epidemics (outbreaks) of a disease.
o For a small percentage of the population a vaccine will not work.
o Global immunisation against the virus causing smallpox has led to the deadly disease being declared
eradicated in 1980.
30
o Being protected from the serious and sometimes deadly complications of disease like measles can
outweigh the risk of complications from a vaccine.
o In very rare cases some people have developed a serious reaction to a vaccine.
⮚ Different types of medicines are available to treat many different diseases. Some medicines only treat the
symptoms and others cure the disease by killing the pathogens.
⮚ Painkillers are medicines that are used to treat the symptoms of the disease but do not kill the pathogens.
Common examples include paracetamol and aspirin. As the symptoms are treated, your immune system still
needs to destroy the pathogen.
⮚ Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are medicines that help to cure bacterial disease by killing infective bacteria
inside the body.
⮚ It is important that specific bacteria should be treated by specific antibiotics.
⮚ The use of antibiotics has greatly reduced deaths from infectious bacterial diseases. However, when overused
or used incorrectly, antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria can evolve that are able to survive treatments.
⮚ Antibiotics cannot kill viral pathogens.
