Question
All of the following are true of infectious diseases EXCEPT -
Question 2 options:
A person who is asymptomatic (ie has no clinical signs/symptoms) may sometimes be infectious and be able to spread an infection to other people.
It is often necessary to act quickly in order to decrease the number of people who get an infection.
A person who has responded to an infection by developing complete immunity is still capable of being infectious and spreading the specific infection to other people.
Since infectious diseases have been studied for so long and are due to specific microorganisms, the risk factors for infectious diseases are generally well known.

Explanation / Answer
FALSE one is the third one. A person who has responded to an infection by developing complete immunity is still capable of being infectious and spreading the specific infection to other people.
Immunity is a condition of being able to resist a particular disease especially through preventing development of a pathogenic microorganism or by counteracting the effects of its products. So if a person is complete immune he wont get the infection so obviously he wont be able transmit the infection to others.
