Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a pathogen does not mean that an infection will begin.An infection develops in a cyclical process called the chain of infection,which includes six elements: (1)an infectious agent or pathogen, (2)a reservoir or source for pathogen growth, (3)a portal of exit from the reservoir, (4)a method or mode of transmission, (5)a portal of entrance into the host,and (6)a susceptible host.An infection develops if the chain remains intact.
