Abstract

Individual particularities of resistance to pathogens have been the focus of clinicians and researchers for centuries. Several theories and concepts were formulated to explain this phenomenon. They include the immunological theory of infectious diseases, the genetic theory of infectious diseases, the concept of latent and asymptomatic infection, monogenic and polygenic type of inheritance of resistance to pathogens and a number of others [1]. Nowadays, most of these concepts are reflected in the modern theory called “A Unified Genetic theory of infection disease”.
