Respuesta :
reservoir , it is not a host, so it cannot have an entry or exit if it's nonliving, so the phone acts as a reservoir to hold bacteria
Answer:
The cell phone represents the reservoir.
Explanation:
An infection is the entry and multiplication of an infectious agent in the tissues of a host. Initially, the infectious agent penetrates the host body and there is proliferation (multiplication of microorganisms), with the consequent presentation of signs and symptoms, or not.
The infection happens through a chain of events called the transmission chain, that is, the infection develops within a cycle that depends on the presence of all the following elements:
- An infectious agent or pathogen
- A pathogen reservoir or source of belief
- A reservoir exit portal
- A transmission mode
- A gateway to a host
- A susceptible host
In this case, we can say that in this cycle, the cell mentioned in the question above represents the reservoir, poles is the place where the infectious agent is deposited and can develop until it is ready to contact the host.
