Pаrt I: Which pаthоgen is mоre virulent? Pаthоgen A (CFR=3%) or pathogen B (CFR=30%).  Part II: Plot a single curve for both pathogens (axes: fitness vs virulence) using the model of the trade-off hypothesis of virulence. Identify the point of optimal virulence in this curve. Now, assuming neither pathogen A or B are at that optimal virulence, label their hypothetical locations on this curve based on what is stated in part I.
