Defenses against Infectious Diseases The human body has several general mechanisms for preventing infectious diseases. Some of these mechanisms are referred to as nonspecific defenses because they operate against a wide range of pathogens. Other mechanisms are referred to as specific defenses because they target particular pathogens and pathogen-infected cells. Nonspecific mechanisms are the body’s primary defense against disease. These mechanisms include anatomical barriers to invading pathogens
