What is a "carrier"?
A carrier is a person or animal that has microorganisms in their body that can cause diseases but does not show symptoms of the disease. Despite not being sick, carriers can still spread the infection to others. This can happen with various diseases, such as typhoid fever or certain types of viral infections. Identifying carriers is important in controlling the spread of infectious diseases, and measures may include monitoring, isolation, or treatment to prevent transmission.
