    Snippet: One of the main functions of secondary symbionts may be to help maintain a baseline of immune activation in order to give the host a head start upon challenge with incoming pathogens. It has been estimated that healthy humans are infected with > 10 viral infections at any given time [51] . This constant barrage of immunogenic material presumably drives a smoldering activation of both innate and adaptive immunity. From this, it may be concluded th.....
    Document: One of the main functions of secondary symbionts may be to help maintain a baseline of immune activation in order to give the host a head start upon challenge with incoming pathogens. It has been estimated that healthy humans are infected with > 10 viral infections at any given time [51] . This constant barrage of immunogenic material presumably drives a smoldering activation of both innate and adaptive immunity. From this, it may be concluded that a state of continual challenge may be integral for the immune system to be fortified against incoming pathogens.
