Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "humans and marine mammals cannot be infected by the same pathogens" is false, as there are many examples of pathogens that can infect both humans and marine mammals. Additionally, marine mammals can and do get infectious diseases. While new species of bacteria may continue to be found, it is not accurate to say that they will never be discovered in wild animals. Finally, marine mammals do have immune systems, just like all other animals do.
