Wildlife disease ecology

transmission in which new infections rise with the density of infected hosts, implying a host density threshold for pathogen persistence.

In wildlife disease ecology, density-dependent transmission refers to transmission in which new infections rise with the density of infected hosts, implying a host density threshold for pathogen persistence. This meaning comes from McCallum (2001) in Trends in Ecology & Evolution.[1]
