This has been optimized so that it is extremely sensitive and specific and can have a restrictive temperature at about that of the human body core; this allows that pathogen to survive in the slightly lower temperature that is common in the extremities thereby inducing an immune response, but because it is unable to survive at the slightly elevated temperature of the core it is unable to produce a full fledged attack on its host. less | Primary: University of Victoria
