Summary Introduction
To explain:
Some of the variables that influence whether a microbe will cause disease in a particular host.
Concept introduction:
The microbe will cause disease or not depends on the variables. These variables include the entry of microbe, the percentage of optimal infectious dose, correct portal of entry and the genes which resist the microbe.
