Subclinical infections refer to infections that occur in the body, but do not produce any noticeable symptoms or signs of illness. In other words, you may be infected, but you wouldn't even know it because you don't feel sick. Full definition
This may be explained by our finding of a high rate of subclinical infection by TMAdV in asymptomatic titi monkeys (35 %), but may also be due to separate introductions of TMAdV into the colony from an as - yet unidentified reservoir. (journals.plos.org)
To investigate the possibility of subclinical infection by TMAdV, we also examined serum samples from asymptomatic titi monkeys (n = 40) and nearby rhesus macaques (n = 36), collected 2 months after the outbreak. (journals.plos.org)
Next, to assess persistent subclinical infection from TMAdV, we analyzed serum samples from at - risk asymptomatic or affected surviving monkeys 2 months after the outbreak (n = 41). (journals.plos.org)
