What is the difference between latent infection and inapparent infection?
An inapparent infection occurs when a susceptible person is exposed to an agent, is consequently infected, but neverdevelops clinical symptoms (subclinical). An inapparent infection may result in immunity - but they may not develop immunity and could even become a carrier.In contrast, an exposed susceptible person may develop symptoms (clinical infection), but later enter a period where they no longer exhibit those symptoms. This person would be said to have a "latent infection". They have not recovered - they are still infected -- and they might start to exhibit clinical symptoms later.Exposed ---- Infected ------ no symptoms --------------------------------------> Resolution INAPPARENT INFECTIONExposed ---- Infected ----- symptoms ----no symptoms ---- symptoms ----> Resolution|< Latent Infection>|- Dominick A.

What does asymtomatic mean?
Asymptomatic refers to a condition or disease that does not show any noticeable symptoms. Individuals who are asymptomatic may carry a virus or illness but do not exhibit the signs typically associated with it. This term is often used in medical contexts, particularly in discussions about infectious diseases, where asymptomatic carriers can still spread pathogens without realizing they are infected.
What do you mean by the carrier of germs?
A carrier of germs refers to an organism, often a person or animal, that harbors and can transmit pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites) without necessarily showing symptoms of illness. These carriers can unknowingly spread the germs to others, facilitating the transmission of diseases. For example, someone who is asymptomatic for an illness may still carry and spread the infectious agents to others, posing a public health risk.
