Complete the hypothesis below to answer the lab question, “what is the effect of immunity on the rate at which a disease spreads? ” hypothesis: if a higher percentage of people are immune to a disease, then . . because . .

The immune system is a biological system in an organism consisting of a coordinated set of elements of recognition and defence that discriminates against the self of non-self. To resume, the immune system protects us against infection from bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

Back to the hypothesis: If a higher percentage of people are immune to a disease, then the rate at which a disease spreads is lower because the immunized people carry fewer infections so it cannot be spread between people.
