Definition: Latent (lā′tənt), adj.

A nonactive virus which is in a dormant state within a cell.

Definition: Infection (infek´shn), n.

An invasion of the tissues of the body by disease-producing microorganisms and the reaction of these tissues to the microorganisms and/or their toxins.

It is almost impossible to prevent something that is unable to be detected. However, in the case of a virus, it is possible to instill a few safety measures such as using antibiotics when entering/exiting a potentially infected zone, carrying, hand sanitizers, drinking plenty of fluids, taking vitamin C.

Because the virus is inactive, there will be no symptoms. A viroid is similar to a prion and can not be destroyed. Once the virus enters into the host cell, it will continue to multiply. All other microorganisms can be fought off with daily supplements such as everyday essential fatty acids (EFA[s]) and water. At best, keep the immune system prepared to ward off all infections of any kind; stay hydrated and well rested.

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.

How do you prevent yourself from getting infection?

It depends where you want to prevent an infection. If it is your lips, use chapstick(especially in the winter) and special antibiotics that prevent infection around your lips. If it is your ears, use Hydrogen Peroxide (Walgreens) and Rubbing Alcohol to prevent any bacteria from causing an infection. You must be especially careful if you have newly pierced ears. An ear infection may cause the skin to grow over the earring, making it attached to the ear. An ear infection can also cause your hole for your earrings to close up.
