Entry and multiplication of an infectious agent in the body is known as infection. It occurs when pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, invade the host's tissues, evade the immune system, and begin to replicate. This process can lead to disease if the pathogen disrupts normal bodily functions or triggers an immune response.
