When referring to an agent of a disease, what is the definition of agent, is there another word that means the same?
It probally means a person suffering from disease or bacteria working with the disease. Hey im only 11 how should i know
I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox
The agent of a disease is the bacteria or virus or whatever that causes the disease. For example, food poisoning is caused by eating food that is contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. So food poisoning is the disease, and the agent of the disease is Salmonella.
