Answer 1

The process by which pathogens establish contact with susceptible cells or tissues of the host and procure nutrients from it is known as infection. During infection, pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites) invade host tissues, evade the host's immune response, and extract nutrients to survive and replicate. This process often leads to disease in the host organism.
