typhoid fever is caused by bacteria in contaminated food or drink. in 1903, an outbreak of typhoid fever in ithaca, new york, killed almost 80 people. in addition, more than 1,000 ithaca residents became sick with the disease. the population shares the public water source. which type of limiting factor was involved in the typhoid outbreak that occurred in ithaca?\n○ density - independent factor\n○ density - dependent factor\n○ population - dependent factor\n○ population - independent factor

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Density - dependent factors are influenced by population density. In the Ithaca typhoid outbreak, bacteria in a shared water source affected more people as the population density around the water source was high. Disease is a classic density - dependent factor. Density - independent factors are not related to population density like natural disasters. Population - dependent and population - independent are not standard ecological terms for limiting factors in this context.

Answer:

density - dependent factor
