Answer:

A. decrease by half.

B. stay the same.

C. double.

Explanation:

Host-pathogen models resembels the host-parasite models and predator-prey which is used to evaluate the evolutionary strategies of pathogens.

The host-vector-pathogen system can be demonstarted as a change in the number of 4 types of people: healthy hosts, uninfected vectors, infected hosts, and infected vectors.

The threshold density should decrease by half, stay the same, or double, according to the standard host-pathogen model, if the combined death and recovery rate from a disease doubles, and the ability of the disease to spread from infected to uninfected persons.

Hence, the correct options are A. decrease by half, B. stay the same, and C. double.

Sloan [31]

A human fetus develops at the mother’s body temperature. At birth, most newborns experience a drop in temperature, and their bodies must quickly do something about it. What they do is the same thing a hibernating mammal does as it rouses itself from its winter "snooze." During hibernation, an animal’s body temperature is low. In order to move about and take care of itself once awake again, the animal that has been hibernating must raise its body temperature. (William k. Purves et al., life: the science of biology) The definition is the primary pattern of organization in this passage.

This passage is explaining the process of hibernation and its importance in the animal life cycle.
