Explain How the Incubation Period Can Influence the Spread of an Infectious

question 30

Multiple Choice

Explain how the incubation period can influence the spread of an infectious agent.

• A)An infectious carrier will only spread the illness when they are showing acute symptoms.As such,the length of incubation period is not important for spreading the illness.
• B)Depending on the microbe and the illness,an asymptomatic carrier in the incubation period might be shedding infectious microbes to his/her surroundings.In such a case,a longer incubation period would lead to a greater spread of the disease as the carrier comes into contact with more individuals while he/she is generally appearing to be healthy.
• C)A very short incubation period will place a patient into the highly infectious active disease state sooner.Since people avoid contact with actively ill individuals,a very short incubation period will always lead to a DECREASE in the spread of an infectious disease.
• D)A very long incubation period will place a patient into the highly infectious active disease state later.Since people generally avoid contact with actively ill individuals,a very long incubation period will always lead to a DECREASE in the spread of an infectious disease.
