Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with pathogenicity and virulence.

Explanation:

The tendency of an organism or a microbe to harm the host, which eventually results in disease is termed as pathogenicity. The concept of pathogenicity signifies the genetic constituent of the pathogen and the destruction resulting in the host because of the association between the host and the pathogen like a microbe.
