Infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign parasite species.
pathogenesis(why infection occurs)Persistent infection occur because the body is unable to clear the organism after the initial infection. Persistent infection are characterized by the continual presence of the infectious organism resulting in recurrent relapses.There are some viruses that can maintain a persistent infecting different cells of the body. A typical example is the herpes virus which tends to hide in nerves and become reactivated when specific circumstances arise.

What is the correct order of the chain of infection?
source, means of transmission, susceptible host
Chain of infection for biological agents?
The chain of infection for biological agents begins with the etiological agent and includes the reservoir, the portal of exit, and the mode of transmission. The portal of entry and the susceptible host end the chain.
What is the susceptible host of poliomyelitis?
Humans
What is true about lysogenic infection?
Infection of the host cell then leading to recombination to the host cell's DNA.
In what type of infection is the host cell not destroyed?
Lysogenetic infection

What causes viruses to form?

Often they remain latent and only raise their head if the host is run down, stressed, mal-nourished...
What is the type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?
lytic infection
