Natural reservoir or nidus, refers to the long-term host of the pathogen of an infectious disease.
It is often the case that hosts do not get the disease carried by the pathogen or it is carried as a subclinical infection and so asymptomatic and non-lethal.
Once discovered, natural reservoirs elucidate the complete life cycle of infectious diseases, providing effective prevention and control.
