Detailed explanation-1: -Inapparent infections (those that do not cause specific signs and symptoms) often result after exposure to picornaviruses, influenza viruses, rhinoviruses, herpesviruses, and adenoviruses but less frequently to measles and chickenpox viruses.
Detailed explanation-2: -A subclinical infection-sometimes called a preinfection or inapparent infection-is an infection by a pathogen that causes few or no signs or symptoms of infection in the host.
Detailed explanation-3: -In an inapparent (subclinical) infection, an immune response can occur without overt clinical disease. A carrier (colonized individual) is a person in whom organisms are present and may be multiplying, but who shows no clinical response to their presence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Subclinical disease refers to the initial period of a disease when no symptoms or signs have yet manifested. It is often used for infective disease.
