Question

what is the term for a person who is capable of transmitting disease through symptoms of illness? colonized infected carrier none of the above

Explanation:

• "Colonized" refers to the presence of microorganisms on or in a host without necessarily causing disease or transmission.
• "Infected" means having a pathogen in the body, but not all infected individuals show symptoms and transmit disease.
• "Carrier" typically refers to an individual who harbors a pathogen and can transmit it, but may or may not show symptoms. However, if showing symptoms and transmitting, it's still within the realm of infection and potential transmission. But let's re - evaluate:
• A carrier is often thought of as asymptomatic. But in medical terms, when a person has symptoms (is infected) and can transmit, they are simply an infected individual capable of transmission. The term "carrier" is more for asymptomatic transmission. So the answer is "Infected" as it directly refers to having the disease (with symptoms) and being able to transmit.

Answer:

Infected
