What is it when the infection cycle broken?

The infection cycle is broken when the host either recovers from the infection or dies.

* Recovery: When the host recovers, it means that the immune system has been able to clear the infection. The host may develop immunity to the pathogen, which means that they are less likely to get infected again with the same pathogen in the future.

* Death: If the host dies from the infection, it means that the pathogen has been able to overwhelm the immune system. The pathogen may spread to other parts of the body and cause organ failure.
