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 INFECTION

What is the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourization?
the heat which is absorbed by a substance for changing solid into liquid state by keeping temperature constant is called latent heat of fusion while the heat which is evolved during phase change of liquid to vapour state at constant temperature is called latent heat of vapourization
Who was the us sociologist who pointed out the difference between manifest functions and the latent functions of social pattern?
The U.S. sociologist who pointed out the difference between manifest functions and latent functions of social patterns was Robert K. Merton. He emphasized the idea that social structures and institutions can serve multiple functions, some of which are intended and recognized (manifest functions), while others are unintended and not immediately recognized (latent functions).
