Answer 1

1. At high densities, due to overcrowding there is lack of sanitation which leads to breeding ground of causative agents for environmentally mediated transmission. Therefore, infected individuals encounter more infected individuals.

2. Infected susceptible individuals have weak immune system than others so at high transmission rate they tend to get infected.

3.Yes, as long as the infected individual is completely cured, the pathogen still exists within the system and can infect more susceptibles.
