Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: infection.
Answer: entry and multiplication of infectious agent in tissue of host, resulting in immune response with or
w/o disease
Question 2: pathogen.
Answer: infectious agent
Question 3: chain of infection.
Answer: 1. Infectious Agent - microorganisms. 2. Resevoir - where pathogen survives. 3. Portal of Exit -
enable entry into host to cause disease. 4. Mode of Transmission - airborne, droplet, contact, blood etc.. 5.
