There is a period between when animals become infected and when they are infectious themselves. This is because the virus, parasite, bacteria, or whatever is infecting them needs time to reproduce, make enough of itself, and then make its way to a point where it can come into contact with another individual. Or it might have to go through another phase of its life within an individual before it can be passed on to another individual. In worm parasites, this is called the prepatent period. TRUE OR FALSE.
