Move the terms to their correct descriptions and review the types of carrier states. Healthcare workers who accidentally transfer pathogens to patients. - Convalescent carrier - Passive carrier Infected, but shows no symptoms of disease. - Asymptomatic carrier - Convalescent carrier Recuperating patients without symptoms; may shed viable microbes. - Chronic carrier - Asymptomatic carrier The infectious agent in latent form for Shelters.
