What is the difference between a carrier and a vector?
A carrier is an organism that harbors and transmits a pathogen without getting sick, while a vector is an organism that transmits a pathogen from one host to another.

What are the stages of pathogen development?
Attachment: Pathogen attaches to host cells. Invasion: Pathogen enters host cells and starts to replicate. Evasion: Pathogen evades host immune response. Spread: Pathogen spreads to other tissues and host organisms. Damage: Pathogen causes damage to host tissues and organs.
What is an living organism that supplies materials to another organism?
