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.

How are acute chronic and latent infections different?
Acute infections have a rapid onset and tend to resolve quickly, while chronic infections last for a longer period of time and may persist for months or years. Latent infections involve a period where the virus or bacteria is in a dormant state within the host, potentially reactivating later to cause symptoms.
What is chronic latent state?
Chronic latent state refers to a persistent but inactive phase of a disease or condition where symptoms are not present but the causative agent (such as a virus or bacteria) remains in the body. This phase can last for an extended period without causing any symptoms or signs of active infection.
What is a latent period?
The latent period is the time between when a stimulus is applied and when a response occurs. In physiology, it refers to the delay between the start of a muscle contraction and the actual movement of a limb. In microbiology, it can also refer to the delay between exposure to a pathogen and the onset of symptoms.
How do incubation periods differ from latency periods?
Incubation period refers to the time from exposure to a pathogen until the onset of symptoms, while latency period refers to the time from initial infection to the appearance of disease. Incubation periods are specific to each disease and can vary in duration, whereas latency periods are more consistent and can be shorter or longer depending on the infection.

Which best describe a major difference between latent function and manifest function?
Latent functions are unintended, while manifest functions are intended.
Which best describes a major difference between latent functions and manifest functions?
Latent functions are unintended, while manifest functions are intended.
What is latent infection?
non persistent infection without symptomatic relapses and remission
Q - What is the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of solidfication?
They are the same thing. Fusion and solidification both mean the changing of a liquid to a solid.
Which microbes could cause infection?
There are several types of microbes that could cause infection and they may be acute chronic or latent infections. A microbe that could cause an acute infection is rhinovirus, one that could cause a chronic infection is hepatitis C and one that could cause a latent infection is herpes zoster.
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).

What is the difference between latent heat and heat?
Usually as we give heat to a system then temperature of the system would rise. But at the boiling point though we give enormous amount of heat the temperature would remain the same and so the heat given is said to be latent and it is used to change water from liquid state to gaseous state. Hence the name latent heat
Is the latent stage of an infectious disease the same as the pathogenic stage?
No, the latent stage of an infection is when the pathogen isn't causing symptoms or damage. The pathogenic stage is when the pathogen is causing symptoms or damage.
What percent of the worlds population carry latent TB infection?
About 30% of the worlds' population carries TB.
An example of a latent viral infection is?
Herpes simplex virus is an example of a latent viral infection. After initial infection, the virus can remain dormant in nerve cells for long periods of time before reactivating, causing recurrent outbreaks of symptoms.
