Suppose You Are Studying Disease Transmission in Two Different Populations

question 71

Essay

Suppose you are studying disease transmission in two different populations. In both populations, an individual must be within 1 m of an infected individual in order for transmission to occur. How would you expect the spatial patterns of disease transmission to differ in a plant population versus an animal population? How would the spatial patterns of disease transmission affect options for controlling the spread of the disease in a population? Based on this transmission pattern, would it be easier to control the spread of the disease in a population of trees or in a population of mice? Explain your answers.
