Question

How does disease and parasitism cause extinction?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Invading infectious diseases can, in theory, lead to the extinction of host populations, particularly if reservoir species are present or if disease transmission is frequency-dependent.

Answer 2

Abstract. Infectious disease, particularly severe infectious disease, is widely recognized as a cause of biological population fluctuation or decrease. However, it is not usually thought to be a major factor in triggering species extinction or endangerment.
