What are the Challenges in Identifying the Source?

Several challenges can complicate the process of identifying the source:
- Latency Period: Some diseases have a long latency period, making it hard to trace the source.
- Multiple Sources: An outbreak may originate from multiple sources, adding complexity.
- Asymptomatic Carriers: People who carry the disease but do not show symptoms can spread the disease unnoticed.
- Environmental Factors: Contaminated water or air can be difficult to trace.
