👉 Histo-infection is a process where a pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, enters and begins to replicate within a host's body, utilizing the host's cellular machinery. This interaction starts when the pathogen breaches the host's physical barriers, like the skin or mucous membranes, and then invades tissues. Once inside, the pathogen can multiply rapidly, often evading or suppressing the host's immune response. This complex interplay between the invading agent and the host's defenses can lead to infection, which may manifest as symptoms ranging from mild to severe, depending on the pathogen and the host's immune status. Understanding histo-infection is crucial for developing treatments and preventive measures against infectious diseases.
