👉 Loading-infection is a process where pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, enter a host and begin to multiply within it, often leading to disease. The initial "loading" phase involves the pathogen's entry into the host through various routes like ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Once inside, the pathogen must evade or overcome the host's immune defenses to establish itself. During the "infection" phase, the pathogen proliferates, causing damage to host tissues and organs, and potentially triggering symptoms and disease manifestations. This process can vary widely depending on the type of pathogen and the host's immune response, ranging from mild infections to severe illnesses.
