subclinical infection

Subclinical infection my cause reduced growth rates and other health problems.

For a complete list of asymptomatic infections see subclinical infection.

Subclinical infections are common, and animals often develop specific antibodies to the organism.

Subclinical infection with this virus appears to be common (10-20% of asymptomatic population).

Subclinical infections are common, with clinical signs occurring sporadically in a herd.

Infections with most Haemoproteus species appear to produce subclinical infections.

Latent or subclinical infections often become clinical when the cat is stressed, such as at the time of adoption.

Asymptomatic conditions also exist (e.g. subclinical infections and, sometimes, high blood pressure).

Subclinical infections are important since they allow infections to spread from a reserve of carriers.

BoHV-1 can cause both clinical and subclinical infections, depending on the virulence of the strain.

WEE is commonly a subclinical infection; symptomatic infections are uncommon.

Medicinal properties in the plants used for baths may help alleviate any subclinical infections these dogs might have due to their poor condition.

Subclinical infections of gut parasites are estimated to cost the UK sheep industry over £84 million a year in lost production.

Asymptomatic infections are also called subclinical infections.

Bobcats become persistent carriers of the organism after they develop mild or subclinical infection and then serve as the reservoir host.

Concerns about subclinical infection are why people who lived in Britain during the peak of the mad cow epidemic are not allowed to donate blood.

An individual may only develop signs of an infection after a period of subclinical infection, a duration that is called the incubation period.

Dengue virus infections can manifest as a subclinical infection or DF, and may develop into potentially fatal DHF.

Individuals with such subclinical infections, and those that never develop overt illness, creates a reserve of individuals that can transmit an infectious agent to infect other individuals.

Subclinical infection with virus shedding can occur in vaccinated horses, particularly where there is a mismatch between the vaccine strains and the virus strains circulating in the field.

It is often the case that hosts do not get the disease carried by the pathogen or it is carried as a subclinical infection and so asymptomatic and non-lethal.

Since subclinical infections often occur without eventual overt sign, their existence is only identified by microbiological culture, electromagnetic frequency detection or DNA techniques such as polymerase chain reaction.

Not only does this make it more difficult to fight the infection; it may mean that a level of infection that would normally produce symptoms is instead undetected (subclinical infection).

"We could have a situation where an intermediate species, say a pig, could harbor a subclinical infection of a prion disease from, say, a sheep which would be pathogenic in humans," Dr. Scott said.
