### Carrier Types in Infectious Diseases

A person who has recovered after being infected with a pathogen but continues to harbor the pathogen and spread it to others, such as **Typhoid Mary**, is a(n):

1. **Noninfectious carrier**
2. **Chronic carrier**
3. **Asymptomatic carrier**
4. **Convalescent carrier**

#### Definitions:

- **Noninfectious carrier**: An individual who carries the pathogen without being infectious to others.
- **Chronic carrier**: A person who harbors the pathogen for a long period and consistently or intermittently sheds it, thereby spreading the disease.
- **Asymptomatic carrier**: An individual who carries and can spread the pathogen to others without showing any symptoms of the disease.
- **Convalescent carrier**: Someone who has recovered from the symptoms of the disease but still carries the pathogen and can spread it to others.
