Outbreak of diseases may cause by pathogens such as such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. On the cell surface of these organisms proteins are present called antigens. On entering the antigen in the body, the immune system produce antibodies against antigen. It is better to test for disease antigens in sudden outbreaks because these antigens confirms the origin of the outbreak before the pathogen get destroyed by antibodies.

In the case, when the outbreak is sudden, there is a need to test for antigen, as the body has not generated any kind of antibodies yet to defend against the disease. It is thus better to test for the antigens.  

In epidemiology, an outbreak refers to the sudden enhancement in the happenings of the disorder in a specific place and time. The outbreaks involve epidemics, which is usually applied for infectious diseases, as well as ailments with an environmental origin, like foodborne or water disease.

Which is an inference?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

After watching a plant for a week, you determine it needs more sunlight.

Explanation:

Inference is a process by which, through certain data, a conclusion is reached. Other synonyms for inference are conclusion, implication, ilation and consequence.

Accordingly, an inference is made when after watching a plant for a week, you determine that it needs more sunlight. This was a conclusion based on data.

Not all inferences offer true conclusions, even with data analysis. It is possible to state that all dogs are furry animals with four legs, but it cannot be inferred that all furry animals that have four legs are dogs.

Inferences usually arise from an analysis of characteristics and probabilities. If someone makes reference to an animal with four legs, hairy and wagging its tail, it can be inferred that the most certain thing is that it is referring to a dog.
