Wildlife disease ecology

transmission in which a host's contact rate with infecteds depends on their proportion rather than their density, typical of sexually transmitted or vector-borne pathogens.

In wildlife disease ecology, frequency-dependent transmission refers to transmission in which a host's contact rate with infecteds depends on their proportion rather than their density, typical of sexually transmitted or vector-borne pathogens. This meaning comes from McCallum (2001) in Trends in Ecology & Evolution.[1]
