    The document outlines the pathogenesis process in 4 stages: 1) an environmental pre-pathogenesis period where the infectious agent is present but not yet interacting with a host, 2) confrontation of the agent with a host which can provoke a stimulus and early pathogenesis as the host's tissues react, 3) an incubation period before symptoms appear, and 4) a pathogenesis period within the human where there are recognizable clinical phases from early to advanced disease, convalescence, and potential chronic disability or death.
