Carrier of infectious disease - what does this mean
Carriers of infectious diseases are individuals who have been infected with a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, but do not show any symptoms of the disease. they can still pass the infection on to others, either through direct contact or by releasing the pathogen into the environment. carriers can become contagious when the pathogen replicates in their body and reaches a certain level in their bodily fluids, such as saliva or blood.
What happens during the disease - carrier of infectious disease
Carrier of infectious disease is a condition in which an individual can carry and transmit a pathogen without showing any symptoms of the disease. the pathogen can be transmitted through direct contact with the infected individual or through contact with contaminated objects, such as clothing, food, or water. the pathogen is often transmitted through the fecal-oral route, where it is ingested and replicates in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to the shedding of the pathogen in the stool. the pathogen can then be transmitted to another individual through contact with the contaminated stool.
