reservoir host. Type:Term. Definitions. 1. the host of an infection in which the infectious agent multiplies and/or develops, and on which the agent depends for survival in nature; the host essential for the maintenance of the infection during times when active transmission is not occurring.
A reservoir host can harbour a pathogen indefinitely with no ill effects, with important implications for disease control. A single reservoir host may be reinfected several times. A host of predilection is the one preferred by a parasite. An amplifying host is one in which the level of pathogen can become high enough that a vector such as a mosquito that feeds on it will probably become infectious.
