Unwanted word?[edit]

"... Once transmission occurs, the 10 pathogen must establish an infection to continue. ... " Uhhm wot's the "10" doing there? Old_Wombat (talk) 09:13, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trade-Off-Hypothesis[edit]

The chapter on the trade-off-hypothesis is extremely unclear. It is mostly defining what the trade-off-hypothesis is not. A proper definition would be better than the vague sentence that virulence depends on the parasites costs and benefits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:1014:1F20:78B8:957D:1EC2:4FC (talk) 15:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
