We study the imaginary parts of the isoscalar electromagnetic and isovector axial form factors of the nucleon close to the-threshold in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. At the two-loop level, the contributions arising from leading and next-to-leading order chiral-vertices, as well as pion-induced excitations of virtual-isobars, are calculated. It is found that the heavy baryon treatment overestimates substantially these-continua. From a phenomenological analysis, that includes the narrow-resonance or the broad-resonance, one can recognize small windows near threshold, where chiral-dynamics prevails. However, in the case of the isoscalar electromagnetic form factors, the radiative correction provided by the-intermediate state turns out to be of similar size.
