Which phase of an infectious disease usually coincides with spread of the disease? Suppose an individual is contagious in the incubation period or in the early prodromal stage. How would that alter the ease with which the pathogen is spread to new hosts?
Which of the following statements about the development of infectious diseases is correct?
The prodromal period is characterized by very severe symptoms.
During the incubation period, the infected individual exhibits obvious signs of sickness.
The period of continuation is the time during which the person regains health and fully recovers (back to the pre-disease state).
The period of invasion is the time when the height of infection occurs.
Humans are accidental hosts in many vector-borne diseases. Whatdoes this indicate about the relationship between the vector and themicrobial agent?
