Q what is the difference between non-specific innate immunity and specific innate immunity?

Active member

Non-specific innate immunity: A degree of natural resistance to all infections in general
Eg: humans do not suffer from the plants' highly infectious diseases or even certain diseases of animals

Specific innate immunity:
This is a natural resistance to a particular kind of germ only.
Eg: Some races or some individuals do not suffer from certain infectious diseases for example human beings are immune to a highly infectious disease of dogs 'distemper' which kills 50% of the infected dogs!

non-specific innate is natural immunity in general...like we dont get plant diseases like smud, rot n all...
specific innate is resistance 2 a specific disease which is from birth....is usually common for specific races...this is another reason why negros have high degree of immunity
