Who carries the germ but not the disease?

  1. Patient

  2. Host

  3. Carrier

  4. Pathogen

The correct answer is: Host

A host is an organism that carries a pathogen but is not necessarily affected by it, therefore they can spread germs without actually having the disease. A patient would have the disease and show symptoms, so they would not be considered a carrier. A carrier can have and spread germs but may not necessarily have the disease. A pathogen is the infectious agent that causes disease, so they are not the one carrying the germ.
