The answer is: Prodromal, Incubation, Convalescence.

Explanation for each option:

  • Prodromal: Correct. The prodromal stage is an early stage of infection where symptoms start to appear but are not yet specific or severe.
  • Reservoir: Incorrect. A reservoir is a place where the pathogen lives and multiplies, not a stage of infection.
  • Means of Transmission: Incorrect. This refers to how the pathogen is spread from one host to another, not a stage of infection.
  • Full: Incorrect. This is not a recognized stage of infection.
  • Incubation: Correct. The incubation period is the time between exposure to the pathogen and the appearance of symptoms.
  • Portal of Entry: Incorrect. This refers to the site through which the pathogen enters the host, not a stage of infection.
  • Convalescence: Correct. The convalescence stage is the period during which the patient recovers and returns to normal health.

Summary: The stages of infection include the prodromal stage, the incubation period, and the convalescence stage.
