An individual capable of transmitting a pathogen without displaying symptoms is referred to as a carrier. A passive carrier is contaminated with the pathogen and can mechanically transmit it to another host; however, a passive carrier is not infected.
Bacterium Carrier. A bacterial carrier strain can be used to secrete antigens for virtually any bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens. From: Escherichia coli (Second Edition), 2013
Epidemiology is the study of the determinants, occurrence, and distribution of health and disease in a defined population. Infection is the replication of organisms in host tissue, which may cause disease. A carrier is an individual with no overt disease who harbors infectious organisms.

Bacterial carrier strains can be attenuated by targeted disruption of virulence genes allowing the fine-tuning of pathogenicity, immunogenicity and/or adjuvanticity. Molecular syringes can be modified such that modified pathogenicity factors and/or heterologous antigens are delivered to host cells.
As noted earlier, a carrier is a person with inapparent infection who is capable of transmitting the pathogen to others. Asymptomatic or passive or healthy carriers are those who never experience symptoms despite being infected. Incubatory carriers are those who can transmit the agent during the incubation period before clinical illness begins.
