Subclinical and asymptomatic infections can pose significant challenges in disease control, as individuals carrying the infection may not display noticeable symptoms but can still transmit the pathogen to others. Subclinical and asymptomatic infections are common in many infectious diseases, including viral infections like HIV, and bacterial infections like tuberculosis. These infections can often go unnoticed, making it difficult to identify and isolate carriers early. Despite the absence of symptoms, these individuals may still suffer long-term health effects, and their role in the spread of the disease can lead to outbreaks. Understanding the dynamics of subclinical and asymptomatic infections is vital for improving surveillance, testing, and public health interventions aimed at controlling infectious diseases.
