It is the amount of a pathogen you would have to ingest to become infected. For instance you need to ingest about a million salmonella bacteria to become infected, whereas gastroenteritis caused by Shigella needs only a couple of hundred organisms.
As you probably know, colonization and infection are 2 separate events.Colonization occurs when a pathogen enters a wound then replicates.Once you have colonization/replication of a pathogen in a wound, the wound will (most likely) become infected.
Yes you can be infected with a pathogen but not show any signs or symptoms but you can still pass it on it other people.
true
Technically a 'pathogen' IS measels. A pathogen is a fancy name for Bacteria. And a pathogen is a bacteria that IS a certin disease. Hencforth, the answer to your question would be measles IS its own pathogen.
Cells infected with a pathogen can be killed by the immune system through mechanisms such as releasing toxic chemicals, inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis), or activating immune cells like T cells and natural killer cells to target and destroy the infected cells.

Helper T cells help to activate T-cytotoxic cells and B-cells. For instance, if you become infected with a pathogen, a macrophage can consume that pathogen and then present parts of it on its own MHC (Major Histocompatability Complex) receptors. T helper cells then detect this and if this is a pathogen previously encountered, it can stimulate T-cytotoxic cells to begin attacking infected cells, and stimulate B-memory cells to begin rapidly dividing into B-plasma cells to produce anitbodies.

The four elements required for the spread of infection are a pathogen (the infectious agent), a reservoir (the natural habitat where the pathogen lives), a mode of transmission (the way the pathogen is spread, such as direct contact or airborne), and a susceptible host (an individual who can become infected). These elements interact in a cycle, facilitating the transmission of infections. Breaking any link in this chain can help prevent the spread of disease.
