What Challenges Exist in Controlling Convalescent Carriers?
There are several challenges in controlling the spread of diseases via convalescent carriers:
- Asymptomatic Nature: Since carriers do not show symptoms, they are often difficult to identify and may not seek medical attention. - Resource Limitations: In many regions, especially low-income areas, there is a lack of resources for widespread screening and monitoring. - Stigma and Compliance: Carriers may face stigma and might not comply with isolation or treatment recommendations. - Evolving Pathogens: Some pathogens can mutate, complicating efforts to identify and manage carriers effectively.
