Dr. Ayub Jadoon, assistant professor, Immunology and Microbiology at Abbottabad University of Science and Technology (AUST) said that the immense resistance against virus shown by Pakistani people is the unusual behavior of the immune system. Whenever a pathogen enters human body immunoglobin proteins are produced in the blood plasma against the virus.

He said when the virus attacks the second time the antibodies and memory t cells are already present that help them to defend against such viruses. He said in the third world countries there is no proper system for diagnosis and diagnostic kits are not available.

The viral mutations stay unnoticed and taken as flu or normal cold with the manifestations of influenza, hack, pyrexia, and troublesome breath, he expressed. No one tries to become more acquainted with the reason for the death, he guaranteed, while focusing on the requirement for additional investigation.

“Coronaviruses are not new to the scene. These are normally present in creatures and winged animals. For instance, feline coronaviruses exist in cats and canine coronaviruses in hounds, however regularly these infections from the creatures and the feathered creatures can’t cause any illnesses in individuals because of the absence of receptors. There is constantly an opportunity of the mutation in these strains and after the change, the new strain can cause the ailment in the people,” he said while talking to the media person.

He said that when the individuals are infected with these new strains their innate and adaptive immune system comes into action and develops antibodies against the virus that help to kill the virus and control the infection.

“Likewise, the antibodies stay in the blood of these people for a long while and acts as a self-immunization. At whatever point there is a subsequent introduction, at that point these antibodies or the memory B cells are there to fight the virus,” he added.
